CUSTARD SLICES

Jump to recipe

It is not a secret that I love dessert. Anything sweet, creamy, and satisfying:

sign. me. up.

This is by far one of my favorite treats. It is my go to for a dessert that is always received well, travels well,

and tastes delicious.

Today I am sharing these custard slices with you.

They are magical. And they are also magically EASY.

whatddya know.

The simple steps for these custard slices are literally so simple that anyone can do it.

Let me break down this delectable dessert for you: 

The vanilla (yellow) custard- made with whipping cream- is smeared onto a freshly puffed rectangle of puff

pastry, which is then drowned (basically) in homemade vanilla icing.

The icing is also my moms recipe, a traditional white vanilla icing made with icing sugar (duh!), butter,

boiling hot water, and vanilla essence.

Literally, this is my go to icing that I use on everything that needs to be iced (especially pastries).

I would like to mention that these custard slices were frosted. Frosted by icing in this case and not

diamonds (anyone know the movie reference here..?)

Clearly I over frosted these pastries, as you can see. But in all honesty (because I am always honest

with you) I love that they are over frosted and over iced.

Bring it on baby.

I made these beautiful pastries (food is beautiful) for my bosses mini baby shower at work! They were

gone before I knew it and it was a good thing I had last minute saved one for AU. 

It only took him 3 days to finnnnnaaaaly eat it. With me reminding him every 6 hours that if he didnt eat

it, I would. I just watched it sit in the fridge all on its lonesome. 

I was way to close to just saying screw it, it’s mine. I was strong and held out though. Little win for me!

Do you have any ideas on what else I could over frost? I’d love to hear some suggestions!

      The puff pastry box is 490 grams. I only used one of the sheets in the box so 245 grams for one.

      I have also updated the recipe card.

      Thanks for your comment!
