No-Bake Coconut Lemon Slice

This quick and easy no-bake slice has a moist, coconutty base and a soft, sweet lemon icing. It is finished with a sprinkling of coconut. You'll need two lemons for this recipe.

80g butter

250g (3/4 cup) sweetened condensed milk

250g packet Milk Arrowroot biscuits

85g (1 cup) desiccated coconut

Zest of one lemon

1 tablespoon (20ml) fresh lemon juice

Lemon Icing

250g (1 3/4 cups) icing sugar

2 tablespoons (40ml) fresh lemon juice

Zest of one lemon

1 1/2 tablespoons desiccated coconut, for sprinkling on top of slice

Grease an 20x20cm slice pan or baking dish and line with baking paper.

Place butter and condensed milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat when butter has melted and mixture is smooth. Be careful that the bottom doesn't stick.

Crush biscuits using a rolling pin. I like them to be a bit chunky still. Stir crushed biscuits, lemon zest and coconut together in a large bowl until well combined.

Stir lemon juice into condensed milk mixture.

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until well combined. The mixture will appear quite wet at this stage.

Press mixture into the prepared pan. Refrigerate while preparing icing (see instructions below).

Spread lemon icing over slice and sprinkle with extra coconut.

Refrigerate slice until cold and firm then remove from the pan and cut into pieces. Store slice in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.

Lemon Icing

Combine icing sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
