Strawberry Jelly Slice

-
I've always wanted to make a jelly slice but never got around to making it.  I was looking through some recipes I saved awhile ago and come across an image of a jelly slice.  I think it was a sign for me to make it and so I did.

This strawberry jelly slice is so delicious. It has a biscuit base, followed by a creamy lemon middle layer and a smooth jelly top.

It was enjoyed by everyone and I have already had requests for more.  This slice is fun to make and not only does it look visually appealing but it tastes so good.  I can't believe I waited so long to make it.  It's definitely a new favourite.

Strawberry Jelly Slice

Ingredients

· 200 grams Marie biscuits
· 185 grams butter, melted
· 2 teaspoons gelatine
· ¼ cup boiling water
· 395 grams can of condensed milk
· 2 lemons
· 1 packet strawberry jelly crystals

Instructions

1. Line a rectangle baking pan with some baking paper.

2. Place biscuits into a food processor and process to a fine crumb. Combine biscuit crumbs and melted butter into a bowl. Mix well and press mixture into a lined pan.

3. Place into the refrigerator to chill for 10 minutes.

4. Sprinkle gelatine over the boiling water and stir until completely dissolved.

5. When gelatine is cool, blend with the condensed milk and the juice of two lemons. Spread over the biscuit base.

6. Make jelly according to the packet instructions. Allow it to cool and carefully pour over the slice and chill.

7. When jelly is completely set, cut into squares using a hot, dry knife.

Tips

· If you don’t have a food processor, you can use a rolling pin to crush the biscuits into crumbs.

· When pouring the jelly layer, slowly spoon the jelly in at first to avoid making marks onto the middle layer.

Coffee Kisses

I made these coffee biscuits awhile ago and thought I would make them again and share this recipe with you.  I'm sure there are many coffee lovers out there. These coffee kisses smell amazing when they are baking in the oven.  The aroma of the coffee biscuits coming out of the oven smells like an Italian cafe. I must say these coffee biscuits are more of an grown up biscuits.  They taste like a shortbread with a hint of coffee and they smell just like coffee. I would recommend making these biscuits when the weather is a bit warmer as the mixture can be a bit firm and hard to pipe out of the piping bag on a cold day.

Mini Yo-Yos (Melting Moments)

I thought I would share with you all, one of my signature bakes.  The traditional melt-in-the-mouth biscuit known as Yo-Yos.  Yo-Yos are made with custard powder and often people refer to them as Melting Moments.  However, the only difference is that melting moments are made with cornflour instead of custard powder. These biscuits are loved by all as they melt-in-your mouth and they taste so good with the lemony buttercream in the centre.  I love this recipe as it's easy and you can fill the biscuits with any filling you like or you can just eat the biscuits unfilled. If you haven't noticed I like to bake products in mini form or bite size.  I find that everyone loves mini desserts or treats.  You can make 16 full sized Yo-Yos or 32 mini ones. Hope you bake this classic traditional biscuits soon as everyone will love them.  This is a favourite amongst my family and friends.

I recently managed to get some fresh passionfruits at the market and had to make some mini cheesecakes with them.  I love the tangy-ness that fresh passionfruits have and the refreshing after taste.  I don't know about you but I also love the smell of fresh passionfruits. These Mini Passionfruit Cheesecakes are so easy and quick to make.  They have a lovely biscuit base with a delicious layer of cheesecake topped with some fresh passionfruit pulp.  They are great to make for parties or just because you love cheesecakes.
