How to make Fruit Salad Slice

This is a quick and easy no-bake slice. However, you do need to cook the filling on the stovetop and the slice does need to set for at least 4 hours in the fridge.

The full method is in the recipe card at the end of the post. But let's just run through it quickly here, too, and I'll add a few tips along the way.

Start by lining the bottom of a slice tin (27 x 17 cm, greased and lined with baking paper overhanging at the edges to assist with removal of the slice once it's set) with the Scotch Fingers (see image 1).

Dissolve the jelly crystals in the boiling water and set aside.

TIP: Note that the jelly is not made in accordance with the instructions on the jelly packet. We're adding only 1 cup of boiling water.

Next, place the fruit salad in a saucepan – juice and all. Bring to the boil.

TIP: Make sure you buy the canned fruit salad in juice rather than syrup.

Add the jelly mixture to the fruit salad and stir to combine. Remove from the heat.

Blend the custard powder and cold water and then add to the saucepan.

TIP: Make sure there are no lumps in your custard powder mixture before adding to saucepan.

Return the saucepan to the heat and bring to the boil, stirring until thickened. This should take a few minutes (see image 2).

Pour the hot mixture onto the biscuit base and ensure it is evenly distributed (see image 3).

Allow to cool for half an hour and then place into the fridge for at least 4 hours to set. Once set, slice into squares. Whip the thickened cream and pipe a little onto each square (see image 4).

Serving and Storage

This slice is great on its own or served with ice cream or custard.

Store it in the fridge, covered, and it should last a few days.
