Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

I use Marie biscuits. Be careful when transferring dish to fridge as spilling can occur. A thick layer of jelly is nice, so make sure your tin is deep enough to hold the ingredients. Feel free to change quantities of lemon juice, base amount and jelly amount. To serve as a dessert, press base into individual glasses or cheesecake tins, pour filling on top, and serve with either warmed jam like fig or strawberry, or with fruits fresh or stewed, as the top layer - finished of course with cream!
