No-Bake Lemon Slice image

This no-bake slice can be made in a just a few minutes, although it does need time to set before it is ready to be eaten. NOT for those who don't like lemons but for the rest of the world, great for lunch boxes, picnics or potlucks! Another recipe I've adapted from one I found on the Simply Great Meals website. The conversions you may need: 125g = 4oz; 400g = just under 13oz; 250g = 8oz. Marie biscuits are a plain sweet biscuit. You could also use Granita biscuits or shortbreads. You could

Time 12m

Yield 10-12 No-Bake Lemon Slices

Number Of Ingredients 9

125 g butter, coarsely chopped
0.5 (400 g) can sweetened condensed milk
250 g Marie biscuits, crushed
1 cup coconut
1/4 cup slivered almonds or 1/4 cup pistachios, chopped
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1/2-1 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 1/4 cups icing sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Lightly grease a 28cm x 18cm (11" x 7") slice pan, line with baking paper and set aside.
  • Mix the biscuit crumbs, coconut, slivered almonds or pistachios and lemon rind in a bowl until well-combined; add the juice a little at a time and mix to combine so that you can see that it's being absorbed by the dry ingredients.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and sweetened condensed milk over a low heat until the butter has melted and is well-combined with the condensed milk; stirring, add the milk mixture to the biscuit mixture and mix until all the ingredients are well-combined.
  • Press the lemon slice mixture into the slice pan.
  • Sift the icing sugar into a bowl and stir in the lemon juice, mixing until the icing is smooth; spread the lemon icing over the biscuit base and refrigerate to set.
  • Cut into squares or fingers and store in an airtight container.
  • TIP: Crush the biscuits in a food processor or alternatively place them in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin or the bottom of a lage can.
