Ingredients

2 packets Lattice biscuits
250 g unsalted butter
250 g caster sugar
250 g cream cheese
1 sachet gelatine powder
1/3 cup lemon juice

Method

Step 1

Cream the butter, sugar and cream cheese.
Step 2

Heat the lemon juice (microwave is fine) and stir in gelatine. Add to creamed mix and mix until completely smooth.
Step 3

Line a rectangle baking tray with grease-proof paper, leaving some flapping out the sides of the tray so you can lift the slice out once set.
Step 4

Lay Lattice biscuits in bottom of tray (shiny side down), cutting biscuits to fit right to the sides.
Step 5

Spread the creamed mix evenly over the layer of biscuits. Add another layer of biscuits to finish (shiny side up this time). Refrigerate until set. Cut into slices.

Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

Finding a tray to fit this slice is problematic. You will need to cut a few biscuits to get it to fit most trays. Any tray you use will need to be at least 4cm deep to accommodate the cheescake slice.

I found that the cheese mix was a little too runny after I added the gelatine so I put it in the fridge for 20 minutes to let it firm up a little before I assembled the slice.

I used 1/4 - 1/3 cup lemon juice (fresh or bottled is fine).

Arnott’s has now discontinued Lattice biscuits, but this recipe for homemade Lattice biscuits shows you how to turn their SAO crackers into them, just by glazing with a simple sugar syrup. If you prefer the thinner Salada biscuits, you can easily substitute SAOs for Saladas.
