How to Make Krempita Or Vanilla Slice

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out puff pastry (recipe below or use store-bought) to approximately 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into two equal rectangles to fit your baking dish. Place pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool completely.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks, 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour, and 1/2 cup (120ml) cold milk until smooth.
  3. In a separate saucepan, combine 2 cups (475ml) whole milk, 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the zest of 1 orange. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  4. Gradually whisk the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
  5. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over very low heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring constantly until the cream thickens to a custard-like consistency.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of powdered gelatin dissolved in 1/4 cup (60ml) cold water. Mix well until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
  7. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in 1/4 cup (50g) vanilla sugar.
  8. Add the whipped cream to the warm custard, mixing gently until combined. Let the filling cool completely.
  9. Spread the cooled filling evenly over one baked pastry sheet.
  10. Top with the remaining pastry sheet and gently press down.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cream to set completely.
  12. Before serving, dust with powdered sugar and cut into squares. Garnish with fresh seasonal fruit, if desired.
