Thats what my lot think to, have been making these for years, and my big boys still request them when they home for the weekends.... Will have to try the passion fruit in the icing that sounds lovely.

There is a product you can buy from Trents or Gilmours Food Warehouses- it makes the custard squares just like the Denheath ones, I have wanted to buy it, but you can only get it in 5kg bags apparently. I have also totally forgotten the name. hoping someone here may know it

The denheath custard is not cooked. :)Got that from "some-one" in the know :) My sis in law makes hers with a pkt of instant pudding beaten into 300mls cream. Before baking one of the sheets of pastry score it with a sharp knife into squares (don't cut right through).Much easier to cut the finished product. Iced with passionfruit icing is nice as is the normal vanilla & topped with coconut. She also squiggles over some melted chocolate just to decorate.Very yummy :)

Seasiders, I have also tried making it with "Cottees" vanilla instant pudding, it's the best, close to the real thing! Is Cottees an australian brand & where did you get it from? I haven't seen it around for a long time!

By the looks of rosathemad's photos on the blog and reading some comments, it sounds like these would be a rival for Australia's equivalent of the custard square, known as "vanilla slice".When we lived there I bought these from Brumbies regularly (and other places).They were fantastic, and I miss them alot!

Seasiders, I made that recipe the other day - someone commented on my blog directing me here. Pam.delilah, your recipe is next on my list! (might be a few weeks before I fully come down from the sugar high though)
