395 g sweetened condensed milk

lemons

Line a 16 X 22cm rectangular slice tin with baking paper and set aside.

Prepare jelly according to the packet instructions and set aside on the bench to cool. Do not place the jelly in the fridge as you don&#x27;t want it to set just yet!

Crush the biscuits/cookies in a food processor and place into a separate bowl.

Add the melted butter and mix until well combined.

Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared tin and then place into the fridge.

Place the condensed milk and lemon juice into a separate bowl. Add the dissolved gelatine mixture (see tips below) and mix until completely combined.

Pour the mixture over the prepared base and place into the fridge until set.

Gently pour the cooled jelly over the top of the slice and place into the fridge until set.

Cut into slices and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Add the biscuits/cookies and press Turbo until crushed and combined (you may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl partway through). Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared tin and then place it into the fridge.

sweetened condensed milk

& 1/2 teaspoons gelatine

water

Lemons (juiced)

jelly

Water jelly packet instructions

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.

Place the biscuits in the bowl and crush for 5 seconds on speed 9.

Add the butter and heat for 3 minutes on 80 degrees speed 2.

Remove biscuit mixture from the bowl and pour into the lined tray. Push the mixture down with a metal spoon to create a flat surface. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes to set.

To make the filling, combine the gelatine in a jug with the boiling water and allow to cool slightly. In a clean bowl, add the lemon juice and condensed milk and mix for 45 seconds on speed 4. After 5 seconds, remove the measuring cup and carefully pour the gelatine mixture in. Remove the set slice base from the fridge and pour over the filling.

Put back into the fridge for 30 minutes.

In a clean Thermomix bowl, add the hot water and heat for 3 minutes on 90 degrees speed 2.

Add the jelly crystals and one extra teaspoon of gelatine and stir until they have dissolved. Pour jelly into another bowl and allow it 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 set for approximately 4 hours – overnight is best.

Remove the set slice from the fridge and cut into squares.

Thermomix Instructions

Made this during the weekend and it came out perfect! It was so yummy too! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

This was my first ever attempt at making Jelly Slice and it was a total SUCCESS! My husband told me I was crazy trying to make this a day before Christmas but I figured I had nothing to loose lol. Using a Tupperware Slice container I found each layer was a perfect 1/3, giving a beautiful appearance. The base was perfect, cheesecake layer set enough within 40mins as stated to add jelly and the extra gelatine in the jelly kept it firm without tasting rubbery. I will definitely be making this again. My only suggestion would be to add more lemon. I used large lemons but found it wasn’t as lemony as I would like.

Everyone loved it and said it WAS actually the best jelly slice! I think the firmness was the key, and I used digestives as the base which was so buttery. I'd love to know how much lemon juice is 4 lemons, as I felt like I put heaps in but I could have had more to make it more lemony I think!

Mine turned out well, though next time I might use 2 packets of jelly as we like a thicker layer of Jelly. I also added a pinch of cinnamon to the base to help contrast the berry jelly.

I've also made one off a different page, but the butter ratio was off and didn't set well. That one I made lemon jelly top and put some fine grated lemon rind in the base.
