Instruction

  • Line the base and the sides of a slice tin with baking paper, making sure you leave plenty hanging over the sides.
  • Crush the biscuits until they resemble fine breadcrumbs. You can use a rolling pin or food processor.
  • Add the melted butter to the crushed biscuits and mix until combined. Pour the mixture into the lined slice tine and press down with the back of a metal spoon and place in the fridge to chill.
  • In the meantime, add 2 1/12 teaspoons of gelatine to 3/4 of a cup of boiling water and stir until it has dissolved. Place the condensed milk into a bowl and while whisking, add the dissolved gelatine mixture and the lemon juice. Continue to whisk until mixture is smooth and has combined.
  • Remove the set biscuit base from the fridge and pour over the condensed milk layer. Place back in the fridge, until it just begins to start to set – approximately 30 - 45 minutes
  • While the slice is chilling, you can make the strawberry jelly as per the packet instructions – adding an extra teaspoon of gelatine. Allow the jelly to cool until it has reached room temperature.
  • Remove the slice from the fridge and carefully pour the jelly over the slice and place it back in the fridge to completely set approximately 6 hours – overnight is best.
  • Remove the set slice from the fridge and using a hot knife, cut into squares.
