This Serbian recipe caught my eye both for the ingredients, which are readily accessible in my kitchen, & the clever cutting of the top pastry to delineate servings neatly. Medena's picture of the slice at her wonderful site certainly caught my eye as well! www.cafechocolada.blogspot.com Thank you Medena!

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 sheets puff pastry
6 1/3 cups milk
5 1/4 ounces cornstarch
1 ounce vanilla sugar
8 egg yolks
7 ounces sugar
8 ounces whipping cream (whipped with stabilizer)

Steps:

Pastry:.
Let the puff pastry sheets thaw, the roll them out on a lightly floured surface, and bake according to directions on a jelly roll pan.
Let them cool, and then cut out the shape according to the size of the square pan - 9 inch x 13 inch.
Once you cut them to the shape of the pan, cut one sheet into squares (I made 12); that will be the top of the cake.
Cream:
Mix egg yolks with sugar, until frothy. Add a cup of milk (out of the 6 1/3 cups), and corn starch, and mix well. Set the reminder of milk with vanilla sugar added, to boil, and when it comes to a boil, slowly mix in the yolk mixture, and stir constantly for a minute. Transfer to a large mixing bowl, and let cool completely. When cooled, add the whipped whipping cream, whipped with a stabilizer.
Put the whole sheet on the bottom of the pan, and spread the filling over it. Arrange the cut out sheet on top.
Refrigerate for few hours.
Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

KREMPITA OR VANILLA SLICE

There are many variations on this very simple desert, but here's my take on it. Sounds and looks difficult and time consuming but it really isn't. But don't tell anyone! Cooking time is actually cooling time to set.

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 sheets puff pastry
6 egg yolks
150 g sugar
150 g flour
1 liter milk
300 ml heavy cream
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
1 teaspoon orange zest

Steps:

Place pastry on flat tray and bake for 15 minutes at 350.
To make cream (filling), mix egg yolks with flour and some cold milk. Boil milk with vanilla extract, sugar and orange zest. pour milk slowly to egg mixture, constantly mixing. Simmer on very low heat for 10 minutes constantly mixing. Remove from heat and add dissolved gelatin in some cold water. Mix well. Let the filling cool off.
Mix vanilla sugar with some cream and add to filling while still warm. Spread filling over baked pastry, top with whipped cream and cover with second baked pastry sheet. Place into refrigerator and cut vanilla slices just before serving. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with fresh fruit in season.

Tips:

For the best results, use high-quality vanilla extract or vanilla beans.
Make sure the custard is thick enough before pouring it into the pastry shell. If it's too thin, it won't set properly.
Don't overcook the pastry shell. It should be golden brown and cooked through, but not too dark.
Let the vanilla slice cool completely before serving. This will help the custard to set and the pastry to crisp up.
Serve the vanilla slice with whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries.

Conclusion:

Vanilla slice is a classic dessert that is enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a simple dessert to make, but it is always a hit. The combination of creamy custard and flaky pastry is irresistible. If you are looking for a delicious and easy dessert to make, vanilla slice is a great choice.
