Servings: 18 large squares

Ingredients

Base

  • 1 tin Condensed Milk
  • 200 g Butter melted
  • 2 packets Marie Biscuits can use Arrowroot, Graham Crackers, or any plain biscuit
  • 100 g Desiccated Coconut
  • 1 Lemon juice and zest

Icing

  • 300 g Pure Icing Sugar
  • 15 g Butter at room temperature
  • 3 tbsp Desiccated Coconut or shredded coconut
  • 1 Lemon juiced

Instructions

Base

  • Spray a 27cm x 17cm slice tin with cooking spray and line with baking paper
  • In a food processor, pulse the Marie biscuits until rough crumbs. Alternatively, crush the biscuits with a rolling pin and pour into a mixing bowl
  • Add the condensed milk, melted butter, coconut, lemon rind and juice. Pulse again, until combined (you may need to scrape down the sides)
  • Press mixture into the slice tin, pressing into the corners and smoothing down
  • Refrigerate for 1 hour

Icing

  • In a medium size bowl, place the icing sugar, lemon juice and butter
  • With an electric hand mixer, beat ingredients until smooth and creamy. You may need to add more icing sugar or juice, depending on how you want your consistency
  • Spread icing onto the set biscuit base and smooth
  • Sprinkle with coconut, then refrigerate for 1 hour
  • Cut into squares (I cut 18, but they're very generous!)
