vanilla slice
Iced custard pastry
A vanilla slice is a pastry consisting of layers of puff pastry with a thick vanilla custard filling between them, typically topped with icing or fondant.
Popular in Britain and Australia, it's eaten as a dessert or with tea.
The Australian version often features passionfruit icing.
The vanilla slice fell apart gloriously at first bite.
