Iced Vo Vo Slice

How to Make

• Step 1: Line a 19cm x 29cm (base measurement) slice pan with baking paper, allowing the 2 long sides to overhang.

• Step 2: Place condensed milk and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes or until smooth and combined and remove from heat.

• Step 3: Using a food processor, process plain biscuits until fine crumbs and transfer to a bowl and add hot butter mixture and mix well to combine and then press mixture over the base of prepared pan, cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm.

• Step 4: Meanwhile, make the strawberry marshmallow by combining sugar and half the water in a saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until sugar dissolves and syrup is clear.

• Step 5: Using a fork, combine gelatine and remaining water in a jug and pour into hot syrup and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes or until gelatine has dissolved and mixture is clear.

• Step 6: Pour into bowl of an electric mixer and stir in lemon juice and strawberry essence and set aside to cool to room temperature (about 30 minutes).

• Step 7: Using an electric mixer, beat sugar and gelatine mixture on high for 6-8 minutes until very thick and tint desired colour with food colouring.

• Step 8: Spread into pan over biscuit base and smooth the top and now arrange Iced Vovo biscuits/cookies in rows, pressing down gently into the surface of the marshmallow and set aside, at room temperature, for 1 hour or until set.

• Step 9: Lift onto a board, then using a wet knife, cut slice into 20 squares.
