Instructions For Making Your Low Carb Jelly Slice:
How to make the Low Carb Base
- Preheat oven to 320F/160C.
- Mix together the almond meal, Natvia and melted butter.
- Press into the base of a rectangle baking pan and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until firm and starting to brown on the edges. We used this 11 x 7in brownie pan.
- Cool the base in the fridge.
How to make the Creamy Jello Slice Filling
- Dissolve the gelatine in the 1/4 cup of boiling water.
- Mix the Sugar-Free Sweetened Condensed Milk and lemon juice together. Add the gelatin and quickly combine, as the hot gelatin will set fast when added to the cold mixture.
- Pour over the cooled base and set in the fridge for 40 minutes, or until firm.
How to make the Jello Topping
- Dissolve the jello in 3/4 cup of boiling water.
- Add the cold water and allow the jello to cool to room temperature.
- Gently pour the cooled jello over the set filling. We suggest pouring the jello over a spoon to prevent the layer underneath from dissolving under the pressure.
- Set in the fridge for an hour or until completely set before cutting into 24 squares. Enjoy!

Low Carb Jelly Slice
Nana always made the best Jello Bars, or Jelly Slice as we liked to call it. It was a staple at birthdays and family gatherings, and always the first to be demolished by the children. Chef Gerri has re-created the nostalgia with her Low Carb Jelly Slice, and it is amazing.

Hello! What do you mean by pouring the jello mixture over a spoon? I don’t understand how to perform this step in the recipe. Thank you in advance for your response.
Hi Penelope,
You want to avoid pouring the jello directly onto the layer below as it can create holes and cracks, and if the jello is too warm it can start to dissolve the layer.
What you want to do is to hold a spoon a 1-2 inches above the slice (in a flat position, as if it is full of liquid and you are raising it to your mouth), then pour the jello onto the spoon so it trickles off on all sides. It’s a much gentler approach that pouring the jello straight on top.
I hope I’ve explained it well enough for you 🙂
Gerri
