What's the difference between vanilla slice and custard slice? ›

Not to be confused with a Custard Slice either!

Gluten Free Custard. The Well and Good custard powder is a winner – it tastes like regular custard, just without the egg, gluten and dairy.

Is butter gluten free? ›

The short answer is that butter is naturally gluten-free, but there are some situations where you need to be careful. Any butter that has added flavorings could potentially contain some gluten. Plain butter is a safe bet, but if you're trying a new brand, it's always a good idea to check the label.

Using a Thickening Agent

For 1 cup (240 mL) of custard, use 2 tablespoons (17 g) of flour mixed with 4 tablespoons (59 mL) of cold water. Add the mixture into your custard ingredients as they cook on the stove. Use cornstarch as an alternative to flour. Cornstarch, like flour, requires cold water as a mixing agent.

Amongst local Aussies it's called "Snot blocks" because of their bright yellow colour and jellied texture. Whatever you call it the taste is sensational! Usually ships Mondays or Tuesdays. Keep in mind it's delicate and could be mishandled during shipment so consider that risk when ordering.

Bath says the real issue with custard slices - also known as vanilla slices or 'snot blocks' by our friends in Australia - is when the custard is thick and rubbery. "I think the softer the better, though it should still have some shape to it. You don't want custard as solid as a brick to eat."

Often also called Vanilla Slice in Australia, Custard square is two layers of puff pastry, surrounding a creamy, smooth custard. The whole thing is then topped off with a vanilla bean icing. It's a New Zealand Classic, and something I always used to get from the bakery growing up.

The major difference between the two is that custard must also contain 1.4% pasteurized egg yolk (per the Food and Drug Administration). The addition of eggs gives it a smooth and creamy texture. (Side note: Some ice cream recipes also contain eggs, however it is not required and they would be LESS THAN 1.4% egg yolk.)

The main difference between frozen custard and ice cream is that frozen custard is made with egg yolks and ice cream is not, giving the former a richer flavor and mouthfeel. Some ice creams are made with egg yolks, however, which would technically make them custards based on the USDA guidelines.
