Vla

Vla

Vla (Pronunciation|NL-vla2.ogg) is the name of two Dutch food products. One is a pie, called "vla" in the south, whence it originates, but more commonly known as vlaai. The other is a type of custard (known in the United States as cornstarch pudding).

Vla custard

This dairy product made from fresh milk first appeared in the 1950s. Traditional vla is made of cooked milk with custard, or with a combination of eggs, cornstarch, vanilla and sugar. Vla has the viscosity of yoghurt and is served cold, but is sweet rather than sour.

Vla is available in many different flavours. Plain vanilla vla is frequently served with apple sauce, or as a "vlaflip", with yoghurt and fruit syrup. In comes in several flavours like: chocolate, caramel, vanilla, banana, etc. Sometimes the vla contains small pieces of chocolate.

Vla found in Dutch supermarkets is usually also made with other additives including thickeners. Vla was originally sold in glass bottles and the consistency made extracting the complete amount difficult, so a special bottle scraper ("flessenschraper" or "flessenlikker") was specifically designed. Despite the fact that vla is now normally sold in cartons, these scrapers are still common in Dutch kitchens.
