Fruity and delicious: You should try these simple cream slices

Fruity and delicious you should try these simple cream slices

Simple sheet cake or elaborate cream cake? These wonderful, fresh cream slices combine both tastes in a simple way.

There's nothing like a nice piece of cake or cake.

These cream slices are juicy and fruity.

And easy to bake.

Let's be honest: when it comes to baking, the spirits can part. Some like simple cakes, others like elaborate cakes. Some are satisfied with dry specimens (and may still dip them in milk or coffee), the counter-fraction prefers only juicy-creamy variants. 

This recipe deals with cream slices. There are also various ways to prepare them. This is a simple number. But it is neither a cake nor a sheet cake. But what has already been said: it is a creamy, sweet, fruity, and very tasty affair.

Recipe: The dough for the fruity cream slices

The dough for the cream slices consists of puff pastry *. Two layers have to be baked here - at least if you want to make the puff pastry yourself. One layer will be the bottom of the cream slices. And the other one is put on top of the pudding cream later. It is best to cut this puff pastry into squares or rectangles with a knife before baking. The bottom, however, is baked whole.

The filling for the fruity cream slices

The cream slices are filled with custard and cream. And the leaf gelatin gives you the necessary hold. The pudding cream * is refined with a little rum. If you want, you can spread your favorite jam on the puff pastry base, as in this recipe. How about currant or strawberry jam? This not only tastes wonderful with the mild pudding cream, it also looks nice.

Fruity cream slices: the topping

There are different ways. The easiest is to dust the cream slices with powdered sugar. If you want, you can also mix a icing of icing sugar and lemon juice * and brush the puff pastry with it. If you want to add a little color to the icing, just add a little jam to the icing. And if you can't make up your mind, just like me, you bet on everything.
