'Vla' () is a Dutch dairy product made from fresh milk.

		
The word 'vla' was first documented in the 13th century and originally
referred to any custard-like substance covering cakes or other baked
goods. The word 'vlaai' is related and has since come to refer to a
type of pie.

		
Traditionally 'vla' is made with eggs, sugar and fresh milk, although
some industrial producers use cornstarch rather than eggs today. 'Vla'
is available in many different flavors, of which vanilla is most
popular. Other flavors include chocolate, caramel, banana, orange and
apple.

		
'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 family kitchens.

		
Although 'vla' is originally a typical Dutch product, it was
introduced to Wallonia and Germany by Campina in 2010 and has been
sold in some stores there since then. It is also sold in Britain,
though it is just called custard and is exclusively sold in tubs
instead of cartons.
