{Jelly Slice}

I probably don't even need to tell you that the kids loved this slice, but then again so did all the grown ups. I took some to my buddy round the corner and her beautiful face lit up, it brought back memories of her first attempts at baking, she used to make it all the time. 


It is a classic australian slice that's fallen a bit out of fashion, I've just discovered it and I loved it, I don't mind that its a little bit retro I think it would be awesome for a kids party, its fun, sweet and its pretty to boot.

...the slice

1 packet marie biscuits

170g melted butter

1 tin condensed milk

juice of 2 lemons

3 level tsp's gelatin dissolved in 1/4 cup boiled water

packet of strawberry jelly crystals

For the base crush the biscuits, add the melted butter, stir then press into your slice tin, pop into the fridge for half an hour to firm up.

For the middle layer, mix together the condensed milk, the lemon juice and the gelatin which you have dissolved in the boiling water till combined then pour over the biscuit base and put back into the fridge till its set.

Lastly make the jelly according to the packet directions, let it cool down then pour it onto the set lemony layer and refrigerate once again till firm.
