Dear Valentine,
On this day of love I give you my heart in the form of biscuit, cheesecake and strawberry jelly = jelly slice.
Thank you for allowing me to be myself and still loving me.
Sometimes our love feels as old and reassuring as Lyle’s Golden Syrup (oldest brand in the world). Yet sometimes when our eyes catch my heart skips a beat like it did when all this began.
Our life is a rollercoaster, but, I wouldn’t (and couldn’t) do it without you.
200g digestive biscuits
125g butter, melted
2½ teaspoons gelatine
¼ cup water
250g cream cheese
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup lemon juice
½ cup cream
100g packet of strawberry jelly
125g butter, melted
2½ teaspoons gelatine
¼ cup water
250g cream cheese
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup lemon juice
½ cup cream
100g packet of strawberry jelly
Blend or process biscuits until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Pour in melted butter and stir till combined.
Press biscuit mixture evenly over the base of a square pan and pop it in the fridge till you need it.
Next, measure out the gelatine and mix with the water. Allow to stand for a couple of minutes to allow the gelatine to absorb the water. Microwave for 30 seconds or until dissolved.
Beat cream cheese, condensed milk, lemon juice and cream til smooth. Stir in the gelatine mixture. Pour over the top of the biscuit crumbs. Refrigerate until set.
Make jelly according to packet instructions, but only us half the water it says on the packet. Pouring over the cream cheese layer, put it back in the fridge and wait till its set. Once its firm, cut into squares and serve.
