Slice:
200 g/ 7 oz plain sweet biscuits (See note)
125 g/ 4.4 oz/ ½ cup unsalted butter
200 ml/ 6.8 fl.oz/ scant ¾ cup sweetened condensed milk
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest

Steps:

  • Line a baking dish of about 25x20cm/10x8 inches with baking paper. Press the mixture into the dish. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes until set.
  • Make sure that the butter is very soft, like a paste.
  • Sieve the icing sugar into a bowl. Add the butter, lemon juice, and hot water. Whisk well until the mixture is smooth.
  • Spread over the lemon slice. Sprinkle with the desiccated coconut.
  • Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Cut into small squares (about 24).

Aussie Lemon Coconut Slice - no bake image

Sweet and tangy no bake slice based on pre-packaged shortbread, sweetened condensed milk, coconut and lemon! A stock standard slice found is many homes and cafe's. To make this gluten free, use gluten free shortbread cookies and be sure that your icing sugar (powdered sugar) has NO wheaten cornflour added. Refrigeration time is "cooking" time.
