Easy Lemon Slice Recipe
I made lemon slice last week and thought I would post the recipe. It is a very easy slice to make with the bonus that it is also very tasty. My kids love it and lemon slice also presents nicely to take along to a morning tea for the adults.
Ingredients:
Base
- 100 grams butter
- approx 3/4 can of condensed milk (this equates to 296.25 grams to be precise!)
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind (1 add a little bit more as I like it quite it zesty.)
- 1 cup coconut
- 1 packet Marie biscuits
Icing
- 1 1/2 cups icing sugar
- 3/4 cup coconut
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- You may wish to increase these quantities if you prefer a thinker icing on top. (I did slightly.)
Instructions:
- Crush biscuits until they are like a breadcrumb consistency. I put them in a plastic bag and crush using the wooden rolling pin and then pour into a medium sized bowl.
- Add coconut, and lemon rind to the biscuit mix.
- On a low heat melt butter and condensed milk.
- Pour the condensed milk and butter into the biscuit mix and combine well.
- Press this mixture into a lined baking tray.
- Place into fridge for approx an hour (when in a hurry, I have put it in the freezer for 10 – 15 minutes and this has also worked).
- To make the icing, mix all the ingredients together and then spread onto the set biscuit base. Refrigerate again until the icing has set.
- Once set cut the slice into fingers.
- Lemon slice keeps best in the fridge and if I need to layer it, I use baking paper to prevent them from sticking together.
