FAQs

Can I use any flavour of jelly?

Yes absolutely! Mix and match with any of your preferred jelly flavours. We have used strawberry jelly in this recipe as that's what is traditionally used.

Do I need to wait for the middle layer to set before I pour the jelly over?

Yes you do! If you pour the jelly onto the middle layer before it's set, the jelly will seep into the creamy filling rather than sitting in a nice layer on top.

How do you cut jelly slice?

Place the jelly slice onto a chopping board. Use a large, flat, very sharp knife and press down firmly. Repeat until the entire slice has been cut into pieces.

    This looks delicious - just wondering if I can double the recipe? I have a larger than normal slice tin so want to make sure the layers are nice and thick!

    • Lauren Matheson says

      Hi Shari, I haven't actually tried to double this recipe before I'm afraid. I normally use a 28 x 18cm slice tin and it does make a big thick slice in that one if that helps 🙂

Condensed milk may not get hard in the fridge by itself, but it does firm up considerably. It's very pourable at room temperature but it's almost too viscous to pour once chilled. The crushed biscuit absorbs the most liquid components of the condensed milk, leaving those components that do firm up to do so.
