Did I mention we get to go to Mauritius, his prize for winning the award…so how can I not spoil him, see I’m trying to be extra nice. By the way, he loved the Caramel and Custard Danishes, he ate 3 of them so they must’ve been good. We often buy the Woolworths Caramel and Custard Danish Slices and it’s never enough as there are only 4 in a pack. With this recipe I at least got 10 slices. My 10-year-old never eats the one from Woolworths, he never liked them and refused to eat them. However, he ate these and he told me he loved them. You should know me by now, I do love shortcuts. I used store-bought puff pastry, which made my job so much easier and I had these slices done in minimal time. The one Woolworths makes has a softer pastry, mine was a little more flaky. There seems to be a shortage of vanilla pods or maybe vanilla pod suppliers are also on strike. We do live in South Africa after all. I’ve looked for the past month and nobody has them so I’ve given up on my quest to find vanilla pods. Vanilla extract to the rescue. However they are still delicious with the right balance of sweetness. I never add too much sugar to anything I bake, so these were perfect for my family. The caramel also adds to the sweetness. If you prefer a sweeter version you can add more sugar to your custard. If you loved this, please share!
