Custard Squares

Sometimes I just need a little bit of a treat to get me through the day. These custard squares are crunchy outside and sweet and creamy inside. They are so addictive once you get started!

Ingredients:

• a roll of puff pastry
• box of vanilla instant pudding
• 250ml cream
• 1 cup icing sugar

Directions:

• Unroll your puff pastry on a floured surface. Roll it out a little more.
• Cut into medium sized squares and place on a baking tray. You can place them right against each other because they shrink when they cook.
• Cook in a 180° oven for 15-20 minutes until the squares are golden. Take out and set aside to cool.
• Whisk the vanilla instant pudding into the cream and milk and put in the fridge for 5 minutes to set.
• Use a sharp knife to break the pastry squares in half and then fill with a teaspoon of the vanilla mix. (and then eat all the leftover vanilla mix...yum!)
• Mix the icing sugar in a jug with just enough water that it pours and pour icing over each square.

Impress your friends and family with this dainty delight that is the perfect teatime treat!

Keep it cooking,
