Vanilla Cream Slice

A soft, creamy vanilla dessert with a buttery biscuit base — light, sweet, and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

• 200 g digestive biscuits (or graham crackers), crushed
• 100 g melted butter
• 500 ml cold milk
• 2 packets (around 150 g) instant vanilla pudding mix
• 250 ml heavy cream (whipped)
• 200 g cream cheese (room temperature)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

1. Prepare the base: Mix crushed biscuits with melted butter until evenly coated. Press firmly into the bottom of a rectangular dish (lined with parchment). Chill for 15–20 minutes.
2. Make the cream layer: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with vanilla until smooth. Add instant pudding mix and cold milk gradually, whisking until thick and creamy.
3. Fold in whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the vanilla mixture until well blended and fluffy.
4. Assemble: Pour the cream mixture over the chilled biscuit base, spreading evenly with a spatula.
5. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until firm.
6. Finish & serve: Dust generously with powdered sugar, cut into neat squares, and serve chilled.

Tips

• For extra flavor, add a thin layer of fruit jam on the biscuit base before spreading the cream.
• Use vanilla bean paste instead of extract for a stronger vanilla aroma.
• Keep refrigerated — best served cold!
