Recipe's preparation

Preheat oven to 200 degrees.

Line 2 baking trays with non-stick baking paper and place a sheet of puff pastry on each.
Bake for 20 minutes or until puffed and golden.
Remove from oven, cover with a clean tea towel and use your hands to push the pastry down flat. Set aside.

Line a 23cm square pan with baking paper to cover all sides (with enough excess hanging to easily lift out finished slice).

#alternatively you can use the lattice biscuits (instead of pastry) by lining square tray. Should use 9 biscuits for bottom layer and then another 9 for the top.

Set scales and weigh in 220g sugar & vanilla pod.
Mill 6 seconds, speed 9.

Add to bowl milk, cream, egg yolks, & custard powder.
Cook for 12 minutes, 90 degrees, speed 4.

Add butter and mix for 10 seconds, speed 4.

Place one sheet of pastry into the lined tin then pour custard over.

(If using lattice biscuits, simply line tray and pour custard over top.)

Place the remaining sheet of pastry (or lattice biscuits) on top of the custard, and refrigerate one hour or until set.

When set, remove slice from tin and ice with passionfruit icing.
Pop back into fridge to set again.
Refrigerate 1hour min or overnight is best - before cutting into squares with a serrated knife.

Tip

Lattice Biscuits have now been dicontinued through Arnotts.

Thermomix Model

Recipe is created for
TM 6

For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

TM 5

If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid.

Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
