No-bake Lemon Slice
by Brighton Council
Ingredients
½ cup sweetened condensed milk
125 grams butter
250 grams milk arrowroot biscuits
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1 cup desiccated coconut
Lemon icing
1 ¾ cups icing sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
15 grams butter
2 tablespoons coconut
Method
Slice: Put the condensed milk and the butter in a small saucepan and stir it over a gentle heat until the butter is melted and combined. Crush the biscuits finely in a food processor. If you don’t have one, you can place the biscuits in a plastic bag and carefully smash them with a rolling pin to crush them. Add the lemon rind and coconut and mix together. Add the condensed milk and butter mixture to the crushed biscuits and combine. Press this into a greased slice tin (I also line with baking paper) 28cm x 18cm. Refrigerate for an hour.
Icing: Combine the icing sugar, lemon juice and butter in a bowl and mix well to form a smooth icing. Spread evenly over the slice and top with coconut or icing sugar.
