What you need

To make this lemon slice you will need the following ingredients:

• Fresh lemons – Fresh lemons taste best in this slice, but if fresh lemon are not available they can be substituted with bottled lemon juice. If using bottled lemon juice, omit the lemon zest from the recipe.
• Plain biscuits – Use any plain sweet biscuits, such as arrowroot, nice or marie.
• Sweetened condensed milk – Be sure to use a full fat sweetened condensed milk, which will help the slice set firmer.
• Desiccated coconut – Use desiccated coconut as opposed to shredded or shaved.
• Butter – Salted butter was used to make this slice, however this can be substituted for unsalted butter.

For the lemon icing you will need:

• Fresh lemons
• Icing sugar – This recipe was made using icing mixture, however pure icing sugar could also be used, which will result in a firmer icing.
• Butter – As with the slice base, salted butter was used, but can be substituted for unsalted butter if preferred.
