As kids, we were pretty good at no-bake slices. It probably had something to do with the fact that, for a long time we only had a wood-fired oven! Makes it pretty tricky to bake with. This No-Bake Lemon Slice is a childhood favourite.

How to make my No-Bake Lemon Slice
My no-bake Lemon Slice is pretty simple -all you need to do is crush some biscuits, add a tin of condensed milk and you’re pretty much good to go. It’s the easiest thing to make, and being a no-bake slice, it’s great for getting the kids involved! So here’s how I make it:
- Crush the biscuits in a food processor, or use a rolling pin to crush them.
- Add condensed milk, melted butter, coconut, lemon rind and juice, then pulse until it’s all combined. If using a rolling pin, then place all of the ingredients into a bowl and mix together.
- Tip the combined ingredients into a prepared slice pan, cover with baking paper, then use a spoon or glass to flatten the top. Remove the paper and refrigerate for 1 hour
- Make the frosting, spread it over the base, sprinkle with coconut, then refrigerate for another hour.
- Cut into squares and enjoy!
