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!)
