Ingredients
The Biscuit Base:
- 2 cups (250 g) crushed plain sweet biscuits (e.g. Marie, graham crackers, or digestive biscuits)
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
The Marshmallow Jelly Layer:
- 1 cup (250 ml) boiling water
- 2 packets (approx. 3 oz or 85 g each) raspberry or strawberry jelly crystals
- 1 tbsp powdered gelatine
- ¾ cup (165 g) caster sugar (or granulated sugar)
- ¾ cup (185 ml) cold water
The Topping:
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- ¼ cup shredded sweetened coconut
- ¼ cup pink and white sprinkles (optional, but highly recommended for fun)
Instructions
Preparation:
1: Make the Biscuit Base
- Prepare a 20 cm x 30 cm rectangular slice pan by lining it with baking paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
- In a large bowl, combine the crushed biscuits, melted butter, and sweetened condensed milk. Mix until the crumbs are well coated and resemble wet sand.
- Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the base of the lined tray using the back of a spoon or the base of a measuring cup.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes while you prepare the next layer.
2: Prepare the Jelly-Marshmallow Layer
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the jelly crystals and powdered gelatine.
- Pour in the boiling water and stir continuously for 2 minutes, until completely dissolved.
- Add the caster sugar and continue stirring until fully dissolved.
- Pour in the cold water and mix again until incorporated.
- Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes until it cools slightly. You want it cool but still liquid, not set.
Note: Pouring warm jelly mixture over the biscuit base too soon can cause it to seep through—cooling is essential.
3: Pour and Chill the Jelly Layer
- Once cooled, carefully pour the jelly mixture over the chilled biscuit base.
- Transfer to the fridge and chill for 2–3 hours, or until the jelly layer is completely set and firm to the touch.
4: Add Marshmallow Topping
- Once the jelly layer is set, evenly scatter the mini marshmallows over the top of the slice.
- Gently press them into the jelly to ensure they stick but don’t sink in.
- Sprinkle the top with shredded coconut and pink and white sprinkles for extra colour and texture.
- Return to the fridge for an additional 30 minutes to allow the toppings to set in place.
5: Slice and Serve
- Using the baking paper overhang, lift the slice out of the tray and place on a chopping board.
- Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry to slice into 12–16 squares.
- Wipe the knife between cuts for cleaner edges.
