Blueberry Custard Slice

I have been practicing converting recipes that I’ve made previously with wheat flour into GF recipes. Since discovering the combination of Coconut Flour and Tapioca Flour I have been amazed at how many recipes I have been able to convert successfully, This Blueberry Custard Slice is one of them and is not only Gluten Free but also Dairy Free. It uses rice syrup as sweetener along with the blueberries but is not overly sweet at all.
