[ sunday baking ] jelly slice

First time ever I make this jelly slice, it’s very easy and very refreshing. With its biscuits base, creamy filling, and jelly on top, it’s my kids favorite’s dessert!

Ingredients:

250g plain sweet biscuits ( I used Arnott’s Milk Arrowroot biscuits)

175g butter, melted

pinch of ground cinnamon

395g can sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup strained lemon juice

3/4 cup boiling water

2 tspn gelatine powder

85g red jelly crystals

Method:

Grease and line the base and sides of a 20cm x 30cm slicepan, extending paper 2cm above the sides of the pan.
Process biscuits in a food processor to fine crumbs. Add butter and cinnamon and process again. Press biscuit mixture into the base of prepared pan. Chill for 30 minutes or until firm.
Combine condensed milk with lemon juice in medium bowl.
Combine boiling water and gelatine in a small jug. Stir until completely dissolved, then stir into condensed milk mixture. Pour over biscuit base and return to the refrigerator for 1 hour or until set.
Meanwhile prepare jelly according to packet instructions, using 100ml less cold water than directed. Allow to come to room temperature. Pour jelly mixture over set milk filling. Chill for a further 1 hour or until jelly is set.
