For the Biscuit Base:
- 250g plain sweet biscuits (like Marie or digestive biscuits)
- 125g unsalted butter, melted
For the Creamy Layer:
- 1 can (395g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons gelatin powder
- 1/4 cup boiling water
For the Jelly Layer:
- 1 packet (85g) strawberry or raspberry-flavored jelly
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
For the Topping:
- Rainbow sprinkles (hundreds and thousands), as desired
Make the Biscuit Base:
Line a slice tin (approximately 20×20 cm) with baking paper.
Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
Mix in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press firmly into the base of the lined tin and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.
Make the Creamy Layer:
In a small bowl, dissolve the gelatin in 1/4 cup boiling water.
Stir until completely dissolved.
In a medium bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice.
Add the dissolved gelatin and mix until smooth.
Pour the creamy mixture over the chilled biscuit base and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until set.
Make the Jelly Layer:
Dissolve the jelly crystals in 1 cup boiling water.
Stir until fully dissolved, then add 1 cup cold water.
Allow the jelly to cool to room temperature (but not set), then gently pour it over the set cream layer.
Refrigerate for 2–3 hours or until the jelly is completely firm.
Add the Sprinkles:
Once the jelly is set, scatter rainbow sprinkles generously over the top.
Serve:
Cut the slice into squares or rectangles using a sharp, warm knife for clean edges.
Serve chilled and enjoy this colorful, nostalgic Aussie treat
