Vanilla Slice

Ingredients

1 x 600 mL bottle full fat cream
1 x 100 g packet Cottee's instant vanilla pudding mix
1 x 200 g packet Lattice biscuits
2 tablespoons custard powder
1 teaspoon vanilla essence, or vanilla bean paste
Topping
1 cup pure icing sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon butter, melted
1 tablespoon milk
½ teaspoon vanilla essence
Desiccated coconut, to taste

Method

1. Place cream, instant pudding, custard powder and vanilla into the bowl of a food
processor and process on medium speed until combined and thick, it must not fall from a
spoon.
2. Alternatively, place these ingredients into a bowl and use an electric hand mixer.
3. With a wooden spoon, pile a good amount of cream mixture onto a biscuit.
4. Place another biscuit on top and smooth down the sides, filling in the sides with more
cream if there are hollows. Continue for the remaining biscuits.
5. Topping: Sift icing sugar into a bowl.
6. Add butter, milk and essence and mix together with a fork until a firm consistency is
reached. Add a very small amount of extra milk, if required.
7. Spread icing onto each slice, then dip into the coconut while it is still moist.
8. If possible, store for 2 days in an airtight container in the fridge to allow the biscuits
soften.
