How to make Mango Matcha Jelly Slice
Prepare the Base
Crush the digestive biscuits until they resemble fine crumbs.
Mix the crumbs with melted butter until evenly coated.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased rectangular or square pan.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
Make the Cream Layer
In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Add sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice, and mix until well combined.
Slowly stir in the dissolved gelatin until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the cream mixture over the chilled biscuit base, spreading it evenly.
Refrigerate again for 1 hour to set.
Prepare the Jelly Layer
Dissolve the mango jelly crystals in 1 cup of boiling water.
Add 1 cup of cold water and stir well.
For a matcha swirl: Mix matcha powder with a small amount of jelly mixture in a separate bowl.
Pour the plain mango jelly mixture gently over the cream layer. If using the matcha swirl, drizzle the matcha jelly mixture over the top and use a toothpick to create swirls.
Refrigerate for 3-4 hours or until the jelly is fully set.
Serve
Once the jelly is firm, slice it into squares or rectangles.
Serve chilled and enjoy the creamy, tropical, and slightly earthy matcha twist!
Tips & Tricks
Ensure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the cream layer.
For a more intense matcha flavor, increase the amount of matcha powder.
