HOW to Make Vanilla Slice (BEST Homemade Cremeschnitte Recipe)

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Roll out the puff pastry and line a baking dish with it.

Prick the pastry with a fork to prevent bubbling.

Bake the pastry for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

In a saucepan, combine milk, sugar, and vanilla extract over medium heat.

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt.

Gradually add the hot milk mixture to the egg mixture, whisking constantly.

Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted.

Pour the custard over the baked pastry and smooth the top.

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until set.

Prepare gelatin by dissolving it in water according to package instructions.

Whip cream until soft peaks form and fold in gelatin mixture.

Spread the whipped cream over the chilled custard layer.

Dust with powdered sugar and add food coloring if desired.

Slice and serve chilled.
