Looking for the Perfect Jelly Slice Recipe!
Hello everyone,
I’m currently living abroad and would love to whip up a classic “Australian delicacy” for my 4-year-old daughter.
Does anyone have tips or a go-to recipe for making the best Jelly Slice? Thanks!
Hi there!
What a lovely idea to make Jelly Slice for your daughter! Here’s a simple recipe that usually gets great results:
Ingredients:
Base:
– 250g plain biscuits (like Marie or Nice biscuits)
– 125g unsalted butter, melted
Filling:
– 500g cream cheese, softened
– 395g sweetened condensed milk
– 1 cup thickened cream
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 2 tsp gelatine powder (optional for setting)
Topping:
– 2-3 packets of your favorite flavored jelly (like raspberry or orange)
– 2 cups boiling water (to dissolve the jelly)
Directions:
Press the mixture firmly into the base of a lined slice tray. Chill in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
Make the Filling:
In a separate bowl, whip the thickened cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture. If you want a firmer filling, dissolve the gelatine in a little warm water and add it to the mix.
Layer the Filling:
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared base and smooth the top. Chill in the fridge for about 2 hours or until it starts to set.
Prepare the Topping:
Dissolve the jelly crystals in boiling water, then let cool slightly before pouring over the chilled cream cheese layer.
Set and Serve:
Feel free to adjust the flavors according to your daughter’s preferences! Happy cooking, and I hope she loves it! 🌈✨
