This Gluten Free Jelly Slice has been on my bucket list to make for a while now. Believe it or not it was my first time making jelly slice let alone a gluten free version. So I finally got around to making it and it did not disappoint! My friends certainly enjoyed it on the weekend.

To mix things up a little I decided on lemon flavoured jelly instead of the standard raspberry flavour. This resulted in me eating 1/4 of the slice myself it was that good! It’s such a fresh tasting slice with very few ingredients. Truly a perfect treat for spring or summer.

P.S. I’ve tweaked the recipe a little and added extra gelatine to the middle lemon layer, as I noticed it didn’t quite set as desired when I made it. So if you decide to make the recipe, please let me know how you go and if I got it right second time around?

Thanks for reading,
xoxo
