Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

250 g arrowroot biscuits ((1 packet), sub with scotch finger, milk coffee, nice or marie biscuits, or graham crackers if in the US.)
1 cup desiccated coconut
2 tsp lemon zest
250 ml sweetened condensed milk (full cream not light)
1 tbsp milk
1 ½ cups icing sugar
1 ½ tbsp lemon juice (if too thick to spread add a little more lemon juice)
1 tbsp butter (softened)
1 tsp lemon zest
desiccated coconut (optional to sprinkle on top)

Steps:

  • Use a food processor to finely pulse and crush your arrowroot biscuits into fine crumbs. Alternatively, place them back into their packaging bag (after removing the plastic tray), seal the open end and crush them with a rolling pin.
  • Transfer biscuit crumbs into a large mixing bowl along with the desiccated coconut and lemon zest. Give a quick mix until roughly combined.
  • Pour the condensed milk and milk over the crumbs and mix roughly with a spoon, then use your hands to get all the ingredients evenly incorporated. The texture should be nice and sticky, and hold if you squeeze it in your hand. Keep it nice and loose so you can pour it into the baking tray. Note: If the crumbs seem too dry to hold their shape, add an extra 1 tbsp milk and mix well. The extra moisture should help it come together and set nicely.
  • Press most of the mixture out firmly into a baking tray lined with baking paper, reserving a handful in the bowl. You can then use the leftover crumbs to fill in any uneven areas of the base. Tip: Use the back of a dessert spoon to get it nice and flat (the pointier end will help you get right to the edges).
  • Pop into the fridge to set while working on the icing.
  • Mix the icing sugar, butter, lemon zest and lemon juice until smooth. You want the icing thicker than normal, as it will set better as a topping. Too thin and it will run when you try and cut it. Tip: If it's too thick, add a little more juice. If it's too runny, add a little more icing sugar.
  • Carefully spread the icing out over the biscuit base. You can use a fork to spread it out initially and get it right out to the edges.
  • Then use the back of a hot metal spoon (dunked in hot water) to smooth out the icing, or leave it rougher for a more rustic look. Optional: Garnish with a light sprinkle of desiccated coconut.
  • Slice into pieces (either 9 large slices or 36 small bites) and store in the fridge until you're ready to serve.

Yield 10-12 No-Bake Lemon Slices

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

  • Lightly grease a 28cm x 18cm (11" x 7") slice pan, line with baking paper and set aside.
  • 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.

  • 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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemon juice and zest provide the best flavor for this recipe.
  • Chill the ingredients before using. This will help the lemon slice set up more quickly and smoothly.
  • Use a food processor or blender to combine the ingredients for the filling. This will ensure that the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • Press the filling into the graham cracker crust firmly. This will help to prevent the filling from cracking.
  • Refrigerate the lemon slice for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the filling to set completely.
  • Serve the lemon slice with whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a delicious and refreshing touch.
