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]]. ==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 [[egg (food)|eggs]], [[maizena]], [[vanilla]] and [[sugar]]. Vla has the [[viscosity]] of [[Yogurt|yoghurt]] and is served cold, but is [[sweet]] rather than sour. Vla is available in many different [[flavour]]s. 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 [[thickener]]s. 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.
