Lemon Slice

This recipe probably doesn’t really belong on a site like this but technically it qualifies as vegetarian. I make it all the time for my husband to take to golf, I wonder if Jimmy and Turtle only invite him along for the slice!

Cook Time5 mins

Total Time15 mins

Course: Dessert

Cuisine: Traditional

Ingredients

Biscuit base

300 ml condensed milk
100 g butter
340 g biscuit crumbs (2 boxes)
1 cup desicated coconut
1 lemon rind only

Icing

2 cups icing sugar sifted
1 lemon juice only
40 g butter melted

Instructions

Grease and line a 3cm-deep, 15cm x 25cm (base) slab pan or 20cm square pan
Place condensed milk and butter in a small saucepan over low-medium heat. Cook, stirring for 4 to 5 minutes or until butter melts.
This mixture burns easily, keep stirring and do not leave unattended.
Combine crumbs, coconut and 2 teaspoons lemon rind in a bowl. Add hot butter mixture. Stir until well combined.
Press biscuit mixture into prepared pan. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm
Place icing sugar in a medium to large bowl, make a well in the centre, then slowly add lemon juice, stirring to make a slurry.
Using this method reduces the risk of lumps and results in smoother icing
Add the melted butter to the slurry, mix well then beat in any remaining dry icing sugar from around the edges.
Beat with a spoon until smooth. Spread icing over slice. Refrigerate for a further 30 minutes or until icing has set. Cut into pieces. Serve
