Easy Vanilla Slice

Serves 9-12 piecePrep 15 minCook Pastry as per pack instructionsCost Approx $1.20 per serveBy Michelle Hanlon

A simple, creamy vanilla slice that's easy to prepare and perfect for parties or special occasions.

If making it the day before an event, leave it whole overnight and cut just before serving. It's easier and keeps the flaky pastry looking better.
