Perfect your irresistible nostalgic pie to dazzle and delight.
Ingredients:
  • 3 sheets (25 x 25cm) frozen butter puff pastry, just thawed
  • 215g (1 cup) caster sugar
  • 135g (1 cup) custard powder
  • 1L (4 cups) milk
  • 60g butter
  • 8.80 gm vanilla essence
  • 300ml ctn thickened cream
  • 150g (1 cup) icing sugar mixture, sifted
  • 2-60.00 ml fresh passionfruit pulp
  • 25g butter, extra vanilla cream
  • 375ml (1 1/2 cups) thickened cream
  • 45g (1/4 cup) icing sugar
  • 1/2 vanilla bean, seeds separated
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 200ºC. Line 3 baking trays with non-stick baking paper and lay a sheet of pastry on each. Prick the pastry all over with a fork and bake for 10-15 minutes until puffed and lightly golden. Allow to cool on the trays.
  • In a saucepan, mix sugar and custard powder. Slowly add milk while whisking until smooth. Whisk over medium-low heat until custard boils and thickens (5-10 minutes). Stir in butter and vanilla. Cover with plastic wrap and let it cool for 5 minutes.
  • Prepare the square cake pan by lining the base and sides with baking paper, leaving some excess to hang over the edges. Cut one pastry sheet to fit the base of the pan, and trim the remaining sheets to match. Place one piece of pastry flat-side down over the base of the pan.
  • Blend the cream with the custard until velvety. Drizzle onto the pastry and level the top. Add another sheet of pastry, with the flat side facing upwards.
  • In a bowl, whip cream, icing sugar, and vanilla bean seeds until stiff peaks form. Spread the vanilla cream over one pastry piece, then place the other piece on top. Gently press down and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for 4-5 hours to set.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, mix icing sugar, passionfruit pulp, and extra butter. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir and microwave for another 30 seconds. Stir until smooth. Pour the icing over the slice and refrigerate until set. Cut into squares before serving.
