I’m a huge fan of quick, no bake slices, and this Lemon Coconut Slice would have to be my favourite. 

This slice starts with a biscuit base featuring sweetened condensed milk, coconut, lemon juice and lemon juice. It is then topped with a sweet and tangy lemon icing.

This lemon slice is super simple and only requires a few ingredients. You will need:

• Fresh lemons
• Plain biscuits, any variety will do

How to make lemon coconut slice

Step 1

Melt together the butter and condensed milk. Do this either in a small saucepan over the stovetop, or in a microwave safe bowl using the microwave.

Step 2

Crush the biscuits in a food processor. Add the desiccated coconut, lemon juice, lemon zest and melted butter mixture to the food processor. Process until well combined. Press mixture into a lined slice tin and transfer to the fridge to set.

Step 3

Make the lemon icing by combining the icing sugar and extra lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Add water if necessary to get a spreadable consistency. Spread over the slice and return to the fridge to set before slicing.
