VDay Slices

Valentine's Day is here again so I thought it would be nice to bake the above VDay Slices.

Come to think of it, I only bake this recipe once a year but this year I shall be baking it four times for 4 special groups of sisters and brothers in Christ who have been serving faithfully in the area of their ministry.

If you would like to make this VD Slices for your friends or loved ones, here's the recipe:

Wash clean and dry some Strawberries. Cut them into halves.

For the base, you would need 300gm of finely crushed Oreo Cookies and 150gm melted butter. Mix them and press the mixture onto the base of a 10" x 10" tray. If you do not have a glass tray, a normal baking tray is fine. Refrigerate it for about 20mins.

Excuse the direction of the photos. I tried to rotate them many times but have not been successful. For the filling, place about 2 1/2 tsp of gelatin powder in 150ml boiling water. Stir till the gelatin powder has been dissolved. Beat 250gm of Cream Cheese with about 70gm of sugar and 1/2 tsp of vanilla. Then add the gelatin syrup into the mixture. Pour the cream cheese onto the Oreo base and place the Strawberry halves partially submerged into the mixture.

Refrigerate for about 2 hours or until the mixture is firm.

Dissolve a box of Raspberry flavoured jelly crystals with 150gm boiling water and 100gm cold water. Cool the jelly syrup and slowly spoon the syrup over the cream cheese filling. Refrigerate overnight before cutting.
