Ingredients




2 butter puff pastry sheets, thawed
2 teaspoons vanilla essence
1 cup castor sugar
3/4 cup cornflour (wheaten)
1/2 cup Orgran custard powder
1 litre milk
60 grams butter
2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
For the icing:
1 1/2 cups pure icing sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon butter
2 small pear halves in syrup, drained and pureed
1 tablespoon milk

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 210 C.  Line a square container roughly the same size as the pastry sheets (23 - 24 cm) with aluminium foil, leaving an overhang on the sides. 2 Place each pastry sheet on a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper, then bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.  Flatten with an egg flip and set aside to cool. 3 Combine the sugar, cornflour and custard powder in a pan and gradually (very slowly) add the milk, stirring until smooth.  Simmer for about 3 minutes, until it thickens, then stir in the butter.   Remove from the heat when smooth and thick and stir in the egg yolks and vanilla. 4 When the pastry is cool, place 1 sheet cooked-side up in the bottom of the lined container, trim to fit if required. 5 Pour the custard over the pastry and set aside to cool slightly before placing the second pastry piece on top, cooked side up. 6 To make the icing combine the icing sugar, butter and milk in a bowl.  Place the bowl in a shallow bath of hot water and mix until the butter has melted.  Stir in the pear until well-combined.  Spread the icing over the top pastry sheet.  Put in the fridge for at least 8 hours to set. 7 Remove from the pan and cut into squares with a hot knife.
