Method

Base

1.Line the base of a 20cm square cake pan by crisscrossing 2 strips of baking paper so it covers the base and overhangs the sides of the tin.
2.Place the Tim Tam biscuits in a food processor or blender and pulse to form crumbs, add the melted butter and pulse to combine.
3.Tip the crumbs into the prepared tin and press firmly to make an even compact base (roll over the base with a small jar or can). Chill in the fridge while you prepare the filling.

Filling

4.In a bowl, combine boiling water, gelatine and ¼ cup Champagne. Stir until gelatine is completely dissolved and add condensed milk and additional 2 Tbsp Champagne. Whisk until mixture is completely blended and pour onto chilled base and refrigerate for 1 hour or until set.

Topping

5.To make the topping, assemble the jelly according to the package directions adding the additional 2 tsp gelatine to the crystals. Allow the liquid to cool to room temperature.
6.When the jelly has cooled, pour onto the chilled slice. Decorate with pieces of freeze-dried strawberry, submerging them in the jelly. Chill until the jelly is set.
7.Gently lift the slice from the tin using the lining paper and cut into serving-sized pieces.
