Quick and easy creamy vanilla custard pies in the Kmart Pie Maker using vanilla instant pudding mix and puff pastry.

 

This recipe made 8 pies in our Kmart Pie Maker.

 

Ingredients

• 4 sheets of puff pastry
• 100g packet Aeroplane Vanilla Dessert Mix
• 200ml full cream milk
• 300ml thickened cream
• Icing sugar

 

Method

• In a large bowl combine the milk, cream and the vanilla dessert mix and beat with an electric hand mixer on high speed for 1 minute.
• Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• Cut your top and bottom pastry circles
• Remove dessert mix from refrigerator and stir till smooth.
• Place the bottom pastry circles in the cold pie maker.
• Fill each pie shell just below the top with dessert mix.
• Put the top pastry circles on, turn on the pie maker and close the lid.
• Cook for 9-10 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
• Remove from pie maker and allow to cool on a wire cooling rack.
• Repeat for the remaining 4 pies.
• Sprinkle with icing sugar before serving.

 

PRO TIP: Icing these is a nice touch so just mix 3/4 cup of icing sugar with 1 1/2 tablespoons of water and then add 3 drops of vanilla extract for vanilla icing, or 1-2 drops of pink food colouring for the classic pink vanilla slice icing. Remember, let the pies completely cool before you ice them using a spatula dipped in warm water.
