Vanilla slice from work


Last week I mentioned that the Vanilla slice is my favourite treat.

I really don’t like saying good bye to work mates. This week we had a farewell and the person brought in home made vanilla slice as a thank you to everyone.

A heap of Vanilla slices

Made with Lattice biscuits

My work mate also shared the recipe her Mum gave her. I guess it may have been a Women’s Weekly type receipe. I know my Mum used to use lattice biscuits too to make Vanilla slice when we were kids.

600 mL thickened cream
100 g packet of instant vanilla pudding mix
¼ cup icing sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ packet lattice biscuits

Mix together with a beater for 3 to 4 minutes until thick. Spread between biscuits and then refrigerate overnight.

After eating my farewell Vanilla slice I ate lunch which was a Cinnabon that Bron had made.

I then went to the dentist for a an appointment I made two weeks ago. It’s a good thing I had a tooth brush at work.

Super Sweet Award!


Barb Beacham, a wonderful blogger friend whose site is called, “Life in the Foothills,” included me this week for the Super Sweet Award! Thank you Barb. Barb and I started following each other soon after I started blogging. Barb is the wonderful person who sent me a bottle of Spike to try.

Now the rules of this award are:

1 – That I give credit to the person who nominated me. Again thank you Barb!

2 – That I answer the super sweet questions. Here are the questions and answers:

Q1: Cookies or cake? I’m a cake person. Although I do like white chocolate and Queensland nut (Macadamia nuts) biscuits (cookies) best. In terms of cake I like a nice Queensland nut (Macadamia but) carrot cake made with crushed pineapple and vanilla icing (fristing).

Q2: Chocolate or vanilla? I am a real fan of vanilla. Vanilla icing on anything really. Vanilla ice cream. Vanilla slice is my favourite sweet.
