Lemon slice (gluten free)

While I don’t eat gluten, refined sugars or dairy I still do bake for the family with all these types of ingredients. When I made this lemon slice recipe recently I really liked the lemony smell, so I decided to make a version of lemon slice that I would want to eat and it turned out lovely.

While it is a sweet treat, the tartness of the lemon balances it out and it is not too sweet. This recipes makes quite a large amount either 12 big slices or 24 squares so perfect if you are entertaining.

The base layer is just dates and cashews.

And the top layer is predominantly coconut and lemon.

This slice will freeze well if you want to make it in advance.
