      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

    Trim pastry sheet to fit bottom of tray.  Place in tray browned side up.

    Pour custard over the pastry and top with other slice of trimmed pastry browned side down.

    Refrigerate until completely cooled, approx 5 hours.

  2. Icing

    No Good, waste of ingredients.
    Followed recipes steps and the tips in comments.
    The Custard was solid rubber and flavourless.

    Awesome receipe, but I changed it slightly. This was my second attempt and I made some small changes. In the first attempt I focused on the recommendations from previous comments but found the custard still very rubbery and very sweet too. The changes are as follows:
    1. Decreased the sugar to 180 grams. Could even go to 160 grams.
    2. Decreased to cornflour to 60 grams.
    3. Increased the custard powder to 90 grams.
    4. Kept the second cook to 4.30 minutes. It was a perfect pouring consistency.

    Will make it again for sure😜

    I made this for the first time and followed your tips above. I also substituted the full cream milk for vanilla flavoured soy milk. The colour of the custard was more like a caramel colour but the slice was very tasty.

    Counter-clockwise operationKERRY RAELENE:
    Hi Kerry, I wouldn't cut the custard powder as this is what helps to give it flavour. Definitely cut the cornflour to no more than half (50g) as this what thickens it and too much will make it more rubbery.

    -COOK FOR 5min IN THE SECOND COOK


    -And steer clear of WHITE WING’s cornflour as it turns the custard rubbery!

    Unfortunately this recipe was terrible Cry I'm a huge fan of Vanilla Slice and was super excited to make it. The custard was so rubbery - I couldn't even finish my first bite. I even reduced the 2nd lot of cooking time to 4.5 minutes. Would not recommend this recipe.

    Perfect! I made this today for the first time and rapt that it worked so well and was so easy. After reading all of the comments I also made some changes. They are shown in brackets. The custard was firm enough to stay in place yet was lovely and creamy. Thanks for sharing your great recipe.

    Vanilla Slice:

    2 sheets ready rolled puff pastry
    200g (100g) raw sugar
    100g (50g) cornflour
    75g custard powder
    1000g full cream milk
    60g Butter (60g cream)
    2 egg yolks
    2 teaspoons Vanilla Bean Paste, (or vanilla extract)

    I also reduced the last stage of the cooking time to about 5 mins.

  • I reduced cornflour to 65g

    Submitted by LEAGEARZ on 10. September 2016 - 10:29.

    I reduced cornflour to 65g and reduced final cook time to 4 1/2 min. I also used 4 passion fruit and then had to increase the icing sugar so that it wasn't too runny. 

    Yum!!! Everyone loved it. I think the custard was possibly a little rubbery, but was still delicious.

    Thanks placebo00 for your tip.

    I also reduced the cornflour to 65g and decreased final cook time to 4.5 minutes.  I still found the custard quite firm/rubbery. Perhaps next time ill decrease cornflour to 50gs.

     

    Icing : i thought i was being smart and replaced the boiling water with passionfruit. Didn't quite set but i love the extra passionfruit taste.

     

    Overall....i did enjoy my vanilla slice and ill probably make it again. Quick & simple recipe tmrc_emoticons.)
