These Iced Lemon Squares are a really old-fashioned style slice that lasts for ages covered in the fridge!
I adore lemon flavoured sweets…. the tart taste with the sweet is just a match made in heaven. These aren’t too sweet – and if you like your lemon squares to have loads of extra ‘punch’ – add more lemon zest. You can also use oranges or limes if you like!
Method
-
Line a lamington tin (28cm x 18cm) with baking paper.
-
In a small saucepan, add the tin of condensed milk and the butter. Stir on low heat with a whisk until the mixture becomes smooth and comes together.
-
Add the lemon juice and lemon zest, stir in. Take off the heat and set aside.
-
Add the Nice Biscuits to a food processor and pulse until they resemble breadcrumbs. Pour them into a large bowl.
-
Stir in the desiccated coconut into the biscuit mix until combined, then pour over the warm condensed milk mixture. Mix well.
-
Press this mixture into the bottom of the lamington tin, and press down to make firm.
-
Sift the icing sugar well to remove all lumps. Add two tablespoons of fresh lemon juice to the icing sugar and mix well with a whisk until the icing is smooth.
-
Pour into a microwave proof bowl. Microwave the icing mixture for 30 seconds to one minute, then whisk until smooth.
-
Pour over the biscuit base and refrigerate until set.
Recipe Hints and Tips:
- Keep the slice covered in the fridge for up to seven days.
