Servings: 9 slices
Calories: 244kcal
Equipment
- 1 square tin (23 x 23cm approx)
Ingredients
- 18 SAO biscuits (about ⅔ packet SAOs) (or any large, square, flaky, savoury cracker)
- 4 cups milk (1 litre)
- 6 tablespoons custard powder
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 20 grams butter (cut into small cubes)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vanilla Icing
- 1 ½ cups icing sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- little extra icing sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Grease tin and line with baking paper, leaving excess on the sides to lift out slice once set.
- Place SAOs on bottom of tray to form a complete layer (cut SAOs to fit if necessary however 9 SAOS should fit well in a 23 x 23cm tin).
- Place all of the milk except for ½ cup in a saucepan and heat until almost boiling.
- Combine custard powder, sugar and remaining milk and add to milk in saucepan just before that milk boil, and then whisk over heat for a few minutes or until custard thickens.
- Take off the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before pouring the custard onto the SAO biscuits and then top with another layer of SAO biscuits.
- Place into fridge to set and, once cool, combine icing sugar, milk and vanilla extract for the vanilla icing and top the slice with the icing – spreading the icing with the back of a spoon to encourage an even layer of icing.
- Place back into fridge and allow to set for at least a few hours, ideally overnight. Dust with icing sugar if desired before serving.
