Total Time: 12 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 2 mins

Ingredients

• 125 g butter, coarsely chopped
• 0.5 (400 g) can sweetened condensed milk
• 250 g marie biscuits, crushed
• 1 cup coconut
• 1/4 cup slivered almonds or 1/4 cup pistachios, chopped
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
• 1/2-1 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 1/4 cups icing sugar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Recipe

• 1 lightly grease a 28cm x 18cm (11" x 7") slice pan, line with baking paper and set aside.
• 2 mix the biscuit crumbs, coconut, slivered almonds or pistachios and lemon rind in a bowl until well-combined; add the juice a little at a time and mix to combine so that you can see that it's being absorbed by the dry ingredients.
• 3 in a medium saucepan, melt the butter and sweetened condensed milk over a low heat until the butter has melted and is well-combined with the condensed milk; stirring, add the milk mixture to the biscuit mixture and mix until all the ingredients are well-combined.
• 4 press the lemon slice mixture into the slice pan.
• 5 sift the icing sugar into a bowl and stir in the lemon juice, mixing until the icing is smooth; spread the lemon icing over the biscuit base and refrigerate to set.
• 6 cut into squares or fingers and store in an airtight container.
• 7 tip: crush the biscuits in a food processor or alternatively place them in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin or the bottom of a lage can.
