Lemon Slice

Lemon Slice is a family favourite, easy to make and requires no baking.

My friend asked for the recipe so I thought I'd share it – enjoy!

200g butter

1 tin of condensed milk (395g)

400g of arrowroot biscuits (nearly 2 pkts)

150g desiccated coconut

40ml fresh lemon juice

Icing

3 cups of pure icing sugar

50ml fresh lemon juice

extra desiccated coconut to sprinkle

Line 18cm x 28cm dish

Heat butter & condensed milk in saucepan over low heat, 

remove when smooth.

Using a food processor crush the biscuits, add coconut. 

Remove lid.

Back to the saucepan and stir in lemon juice to condensed milk mixture. It will curdle a little. 

Pour into food processor, and combine all ingredients. 

Allow a little texture.

Press mixture into lined dish. Focus on the corners first, and the rest will flatten.

Refrigerate while preparing icing.

Lemon Icing

Spread over slice and sprinkle with coconut. 

Refrigerate to set.

Store in fridge
