Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Vegan puff pastry sheets
- 500 ml Unsweetened almond milk
- 200 ml Coconut cream
- 100 g Cornstarch
- 150 g Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric (for color)
- 50 g Icing sugar
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Place the vegan puff pastry sheets on a lined baking sheet and prick them all over with a fork to prevent puffing.
Bake the pastry sheets in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the almond milk, coconut cream, sugar, and turmeric over medium heat. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of almond milk to create a smooth slurry. Once the milk mixture is simmering, gradually whisk in the cornstarch slurry and continue stirring until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Line a square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing the edges to overhang for easy removal. Place one of the cooled pastry sheets on the bottom.
Pour the slightly cooled vanilla filling over the pastry sheet in the baking dish, smoothing it out evenly. Place the second pastry sheet over the filling, pressing down gently.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the filling is set.
To make the icing, mix the icing sugar with water until smooth. Remove the vanilla slice from the refrigerator and drizzle the icing over the top pastry. Allow setting for a few minutes.
Carefully lift the slice from the baking dish using the parchment paper and transfer it to a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut the vanilla slice into squares or rectangles.
Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious Vegan Classic Vanilla Slice!
