Someone did a calorie count on VANILLA SLICE PIES - and people’s reactions are HILARIOUS!

Calories, schmalories right?! - by Nikki Black
  • 15 Feb 2019

They’re the baking phenomenon that’s sweeping Australia right now - Vanilla Slice Pies, made using the $29 Kmart Pie Maker. 

Hundreds of Aussies around the country have been whipping up the sensational treats since clever home cook Dianne first came up with the idea on the awesome Kmart Pie Maker Recipes, Tips and Ideas Australia Facebook group. 

Someone did a calorie count on VANILLA SLICE PIES - and people’s reactions are HILARIOUS!

The pies are made by using puff pastry on the bottom of the pie, filling it with vanilla pudding mix - Cottee’s and Aeroplane sell varieties in supermarkets - and topping it with more puff pastry, before baking it in the pie maker until golden brown. And to finish? Just a lovely layer of vanilla icing. YUM.

You only have to look at home cook Barbara's version of the pies, pictured at top of page, to see just how good they look!

Well now one Kmart Pie Maker Facebook member has done a calorie count on the pies, revealing just how sinful they are. 

Said Kmart Pie Maker fan Mandy: ‘Ok, I hate to be a bummer, but I just did the calorie count on the vanilla slice pies without icing - 265 calories.’

Which we have to admit, isn’t as bad as we thought! Given that the recommended daily calorie intake for women is 2,000 calories, as long as you enjoy the pies in moderation you’re all fine!

But Mandy’s post set off an avalanche of hilarious comments from fellow Kmart Pie Maker followers - and they’re too funny!

Said one: ‘Should never drop the ‘C’ word, especially on this page,’ Added another: ‘Calories schmellories!’ Said a third: ‘Why would you say such a horrible thing?!’

Other members offered advice on how to minimise the calories in the pies!

‘Sit them on a bed of lettuce they become salads, no calories,’ said one. Added another: ‘If you cut them in half before you eat them the calories escape!!!🤫’

Said one more: ‘Calories don't count when you can't see them.. turn the lights off and eat in the dark!’

Ha! Another had advice on how to make the most of the vanilla slice pie calorie revelation.

Said one: ‘1 for breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper = 1060 calories ...sounds like a good diet to me.😄’

Some members saw the revelation as a positive!

Said one: ‘That is not too bad actually!’ Added another: ‘Especially if you skip lunch and maybe dinner and just eat the Vanilla Slice!’

Sounds like a plan! For more vanilla slice pie news, make sure you’re following Kmart Pie Maker Recipes, Tips and Ideas Australia on Facebook - click here for more!
