Elevate your lemon slice with a refreshing gin and tonic jelly twist.
Ingredients:
  • 250g plain sweet biscuits
  • 100g butter, melted, cooled
  • 125g unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 215g (1 cup) caster sugar
  • 20.00 ml finely grated lemon rind
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) lemon juice
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 24.00 gm gelatine powder
  • 180ml (3/4 cup) thickened cream
  • 110g (1/2 cup) caster sugar
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) strained lemon juice
  • 250ml (1 cup) tonic water
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) gin
  • Fresh mint leaves, to serve (optional)
  • Lime slices, to serve (optional)
  • Edible flowers, to serve (optional)
Instructions:
  • Prepare a 20 x 30cm slice pan by greasing it and lining it with baking paper, leaving 2 long overhangs. Using a food processor, roughly crush the biscuits. Add the butter and combine. Transfer the mixture into the pan and press down firmly with a spoon. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes or until set.
  • In a medium saucepan over very low heat, combine butter, sugar, lemon zest, juice, eggs, and yolks. Stir for 2 minutes until butter melts. Cook, stirring constantly, for another 10 minutes until thickened. Strain into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
  • In a bowl, combine 60ml (1/4 cup) water and gelatine powder. Let it sit for a couple of minutes to soften. Microwave for 30 seconds until hot, then stir with a fork to dissolve the gelatine. Allow it to cool until it reaches room temperature. Mix the gelatine into the lemon mixture and let it sit for 30 minutes. Beat the cream until soft peaks form, then fold it into the lemon curd. Pour over the base, smooth the top, and refrigerate for 2 hours to set.
  • To prepare the jelly, start by pouring 125ml (1/2 cup) of cold water into a small saucepan. Sprinkle the gelatine over the water and let it soften. Heat gently until warm, stirring to dissolve the gelatine. Add sugar, stir until dissolved without boiling. Take off the heat and mix in lemon juice, tonic water, and gin. Strain into a jug, skim off any bubbles, and let it cool to room temperature.
  • Chill the slice in the fridge, then delicately drizzle the gin and tonic mixture over it. Sprinkle with herbs and flowers, and refrigerate for 4 hours or until firm.
