What kind of vegan puff pastry should I use for these Cream Slices?

You can use either vegan puff pastry or Danish pastry, ensuring it's pierced with a fork before baking to prevent excessive rising and achieve a crisp texture.

How do I ensure the cream filling for these slices is smooth and well-combined?

First, cook the vanilla pudding with almond milk and let it cool completely. Then, beat soft vegetable fat with icing sugar until foamy before gradually mixing in the cooled pudding, and finally folding in the whipped cream with a spatula.

Why is an overnight chill necessary for these Cream Slices?

Chilling the Cream Slices overnight allows the rich pudding cream filling to set firmly and the layers of pastry, jam, and glaze to meld together, making them easier to cut into clean slices.

What's the best way to apply the glaze to the Cream Slices?

After spreading a thin layer of raspberry jam on the top puff pastry, prepare a thick glaze from icing sugar and a little water, then spread it evenly over the jam before chilling.

How should I store leftover Vegan Cream Slices?

Once cut, store any remaining Cream Slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are best enjoyed within 2-3 days.
