Recipe's preparation

    Slice

  1. Base

    1. Line a 9cm square cake tin (or similar) with foil (or baking paper) leaving the foil to hang over the sides (so you can lift the slice from the tin when set).

    2. Place biscuits into tray ensuring the entire base is covered. You will need to cut some biscuits in half to fill the gaps.

    (if using lattice biscuits place biscuits glossy side up)

     

    Filling

    1. Place sugar and cornflour into TM bowl and pilverise for 20 sec / Sp 9.

    2. Scrape down sides of bowl.

    3. Add remaining filling ingredients and cook for 10 min / 90 degrees / sp 4.

    4. Allow to cool for 5 mins before pouring over biscuit base.

    5. Immediately top with remaining biscuits, again cutting biscuits to fit where necessary.

    6. Place in fridge to cool while you make the icing.

     

    Icing

    I mix this by hand while filling is cooking but it can also be done in TM if desired.

     

    1. In a bowl, gradually combine the icing sugar with the butter, smoothing out any lumps. 

    2. As you get to the last bit of icing sugar, add the Thick cream. Again combine and smooth so there are no lumps.

    3. Add Vanilla essence and food colouring. Combine well.

    4. Take slice from fridge and top with the icing

    5. Refridgerate again.

    6. Can be eaten after about an hour or so but best left overnight.

    I used to make this when I worked on a cattle station way back in the day with sao biscuits, so was pleased to find this already converted for my thermie. Great easy recipe which I made with green icing for Australia Day - big hit with the guests. However I didn't mill the icing sugar for long enough and the icing was a little crunchy, but everyone thought this was a pretty neat original difference. So I'll claim that. Thanks tashnjeff - I'll give you 5 stars

  • Disappointed. The biscuits

    Submitted by rachelpctaylor on 19. November 2016 - 20:00.

    Disappointed. The biscuits floated to the top when I poured the custard on.  Removed the custard and added more cornflour and cooked longer to thicken. The custard didn't set. Don't know what went wrong.
