CHRIS’S VANILLA CUSTARD SLICES!

Here we go folks!

For the pastry I used my classic French puff pastry recipe. You can also use my rough puff pastry or just use store bought if you want to avoid the hassle

2 x 500-550g sheets – Roll out two thin sheets slightly bigger than the 20x30cm tin as they will contract. Chill them for about 30-60 minutes before baking. Prick with a fork all over and bake for about 30 minutes at 200C Celsius until Golden Brown.

Once Baked trim to fit the tin

The Custard

200g of Sugar
85g of Cornstarch/Cornflour
10 egg yolks
1200g or ml of milk
1 1/2 Vanilla Beans
85g of Butter

Follow the instructions in the video

For the Fondant Icing

Here’s a link to a tutorial I did a while back. No need for the ice water to cool down. Only if you’re in a hurry 😄

I used some dark chocolate for the feathering and some whipping cream to pipe on top. This is all optional

Give it a go and if you’ve any questions just ask and I’ll do me best to get back to ya!

All the best

    I was looking for a healthy, low-calorie dessert and here is this recipe perfect for that! Does fondant icing dry, or does it cool and set?

    Great job, Chris. ❤️
    Mrs Doyle wouldn't say no to one of your slices, and she would make the tea 😅😅😅

    Here in the states what you made are referred to as napoleons. One of my favorite things to eat they’ve gotten quite expensive to the last time I bought them at the local bakery where they were made from scratch I paid $5.50 a piece and I have no regrets. Thank you for posting this you are very talented man

    I love watching your videos and your banter, which I miss now not living in Dublin (Artane) anymore. I spent many years in South America and other places, but the Dub in me never felt.. thank you so much for your wonderful baking which is a passion of mine, AND the banter lol. Love to you and your beautiful family x
