Why You'll Love This Jelly Cheesecake Slic

This jelly cheesecake slice recipe combines the nostalgic flavour of jelly with the smooth, rich texture of cheesecake—all layered atop a buttery biscuit base. It’s a slice of heaven that’s simple to prepare, but it looks and tastes impressive. Let’s get into why this dessert is a must-make for any sweet tooth craving.

First off, it’s a no-bake dessert, meaning you won’t have to turn on your oven (perfect for those hot Aussie days). It’s also super versatile. You can mix up the flavours by choosing different jelly crystals—strawberry, raspberry, lemon, or even something more exotic like mango! 🍓🍋🍍 So, you get to play around with it depending on your mood or what’s in your pantry.

Now, for the ultimate touch: the biscuit base. Digestives or plain biscuits work best for that buttery, crunchy foundation. But if you’re feeling extra fancy, you could swap out the plain ones for chocolate biscuits for a richer taste.

The middle layer is all about creaminess—thanks to cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk, it’s silky smooth and perfectly balanced with a hint of lemon zest to cut through the sweetness. That touch of lemon brings a refreshing brightness that complements the jelly on top.

Tips & Tricks for the Best Jelly Cheesecake Slice

    • Gelatin Setting Secret: When you mix the gelatin and boiling water, make sure it fully dissolves! If not, your cheesecake won’t set properly. I always give it a quick 10-second zap in the microwave if I see any undissolved bits. 💡
    • Room Temp Cream Cheese: Don’t rush and use cold cream cheese—let it sit out until it’s room temperature. This makes blending super smooth and avoids lumps in your cheesecake layer. Lumpy cheesecake is a no-no!
    • The Jelly Wait: One key thing here is patience. Let the jelly cool to room temperature before pouring it over your cheesecake layer. Pouring warm jelly will melt the creamy goodness and mess up those beautiful layers we’re going for. Trust me, the wait is worth it. ⏳
    • Flavour Combos: Experiment with different jelly and biscuit pairings! A tropical pineapple jelly with a coconut-flavoured base, or a lime jelly with a graham cracker crust, can add an extra layer of fun and creativity to your slice. 🍍🌴

Perfect for Any Occasion

This jelly cheesecake slice is one of those desserts that works for anything. Heading to a BBQ? Need a sweet treat for a family picnic? Craving a dessert that’s a little bit indulgent without being too heavy? This is it. You can even make it a day ahead, and it tastes even better the next day once all the layers have had time to set perfectly. 🙌

Serving Suggestions

You can serve the jelly cheesecake slice as is—trust me, it’s already a showstopper. But if you want to take it to the next level, here are a few ideas:

    • Whipped Cream: Add a dollop of freshly whipped cream on the side for a touch of extra creaminess.

    • Fresh Fruit: Top each slice with fresh berries or slices of kiwi to add a pop of colour and a burst of fresh flavour that complements the jelly. 🍓🥝

    • Crumbled Biscuits: For added texture, sprinkle some crushed biscuits over the top just before serving.

Pair It Perfectly

For drinks, a glass of sparkling wine or Prosecco pairs beautifully with the creamy, fruity layers of this jelly cheesecake slice. Or, if you want something non-alcoholic, a refreshing glass of iced tea or lemonade will do the trick. 🥂🍋

Description

Looking for a dessert that’s a total crowd-pleaser but super easy to whip up? This jelly cheesecake slice has the perfect mix of creamy, zesty, and jiggly layers that make it irresistible! Plus, it’s so fun to make (and eat)! Let’s dive in. 😋


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 85 gm flavoured jelly crystals
  • 250 gm plain biscuits
  • 150 gm salted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 2 tbsp unflavoured gelatin powder
  • 450 gm block cream cheese, room temp
  • 790 gm sweetened condensed milk
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. First, blitz your plain biscuits in a food processor until they’re like fine sand. Mix in the melted butter, then pour it into a lined slice tin and press down firmly. Pop it into the fridge to chill.
  2. Next, make your jelly following the packet instructions and leave it to cool at room temperature (not in the fridge just yet!).
  3. In a small bowl, stir together the gelatin and boiling water. If it’s not dissolving, give it a 10-second zap in the microwave.
  4. Grab your mixer and blend the cream cheese, condensed milk, lemon juice, and zest until smooth. Add the gelatin mixture and give it another whizz.
  5. Pour this creamy cheesecake mix over the biscuit base, smooth it out, and pop it in the fridge to set for about an hour.
  6. Once firm, slowly pour the cooled jelly over the cheesecake layer and slide it back into the fridge until the jelly is fully set.
