Steps:
- Finely crush ¾ of the biscuits in the food processor. Crush the remaining biscuits only roughly. If you don't have a food processor, place ¾ of the biscuits in a freezer bag, close well and crush finely with a rolling pin. Place in a bowl and add the roughly crushed ones as well. Set aside.
- Place the butter and sweetened condensed milk in a small saucepan. Heat gently, while stirring, until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth. Add the lemon juice and lemon zest.
- Pour over the crushed biscuits, add the desiccated coconut and stir well to combine.
- 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
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.

- Press into the prepared pan and using your finger tips, get the dough into all the corners and crevices and push down hard. Cover with the prepared icing and pop in the fridge for 2 hours to set. Slice into squares and enjoy!
