Tip

* I find this quite sweet with the dates in the base, so I often cut the slices in half again (2 x 4cm).

 

* You can use any flavour for the top layer.

* This recipe was adapted from Weigh It Up - //www.weighitup.com.au/recipe/264/jelly-slice  which is a healthy makeover of the classic Country Women's Association recipe.

Butter and high-fat, sugar-processed biscuits in the base have been replaced with high-fibre biscuits and dates. Full fat cream and cream cheese have been replaced with low fat versions and a healthy layer of real fruit (and would you believe vegetables!) for the traditional sugar-y jelly. So not only are you indulging in a sweet treat, you are also benefiting your body with all the vitamins, minerals, fibre, antioxidants and probiotics in these healthy ingredients.

You need to make this well ahead of time due to the resting times needed for the layers to set.

    My 8yr old son made this yesterday and it's delicious!! I found the quantities a little out though. The base is the perfect amount but the middle and too layers made way more than you need. I had to put heaps into a separate container to the layers were equal for this slice. I'd almost halve them next time and it would be perfect I think. The flavours of the lays are wonderful!!
