It uses SAO biscuits instead of pastry (in UK- maybe cream crackers?) Works a treat....
1 litre milk
4 heaped tbsp custard powder
4 level tbsp sugar
½ tsp vanilla essence
Sao biscuits (I used 18 for this dish)
1. Bring 3 ½ cups milk to the boil in a saucepan.
2. Mix the custard powder, sugar, vanilla and remaining milk in a jug to a paste, then add to the hot milk. If this doesn’t thicken enough straight away, continue to heat until thick.
3. Layer sao’s in a deep dish (I used a square baking dish which fit the biscuits 3x3, but just trim them to fit whatever you have)
4. Pour custard over the biscuits, then layer the remaining biscuits on top to cover.
5. Pop in fridge until set
6. Passionfruit icing – pulp of 4 passionfruits mixed with 1 cup icing sugar. (may need 1 tbsp warm water to get smooth consistency)
7. Spread over top of slice, back into fridge to set.
This cuts easily when cold, and the sao’s soften the next day which makes it even tastier!

So naughty, I simply must try it!
I've heard of using Sao's for vanilla sice before, but I've never found a recipie. Now there's no excuse.
Thanks for putting this one out there.
Go for it Chris! And I don't think its too naughty ... it honesty feels kind of light, not belly-filling... that my excuse for having double anyway :-)
