Notes

Tip
Finding a tray to fit this slice is problematic. You will need to cut a few biscuits to get it to fit most trays. Any tray you use will need to be at least 4cm deep to accommodate the cheescake slice.
Tip
I found that the cheese mix was a little too runny after I added the gelatine so I put it in the fridge for 20 minutes to let it firm up a little before I assembled the slice.
Storage
Store the slice in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge.
