I have a recipe for this. It says 1 packet of biscuits and 250gm butter. This seems a lot of butter. Would it be alright to halve the amount of butter. Don't want this mixture to crumble, as it will be a finger dessert. TIA

Is this for the base of the cake/dessert?

Yes. Like a cheesecake. Biscuit base, condensed milk filling and jelly on top.
grease and line shallow pan/tin, process biscuits in processor, add butter and process until combined, spoon into pan/tin and press firmly chill. Put jelly crystals in bowl add x3 cups boiling water and stir untl disolved, remove x1 cup of jelly mix and set aside, add yoghurt to remaining jelly and mix and pour over crumb base, top with halved strawberries, chill for 30-40mins then pour remaining jelly over top, chill until set.

Susieq, my recipe for that slice has the same measurements and it turns out fine.

My MIL used to make it a lot. I just thought that it sounded like a lot of butter. I have now made it and only used 100gm butter. Fingers crossed, it should be fine. Thanks.

Same recipe as porsh_a. Only I used 125gm melted butter and used the juice of the 2 lemons and the zest of one lemon. Very successful. Thanks to all.
