Instructions
FOR THE LEMON SLICE
Line an 8x8 inch square baking tin or a 9x13 baking tin or dish with baking paper - make sure it overhangs the edges a little.
If they aren't alrady, use a food processor to blitz the biscuits to crumbs
Place the condensed milk and butter in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir well and repeat at least 2 more times.
Add the biscuit crumbs, coconut, lemon juice and lemon zest and mix until well combined.
Press the dough into the lined tin and place in the fridge.
FOR THE WHIPPED LEMON FROSTING
Microwave the white chocolate in 30 second increments, stirring well between each, until just melted. Set aside and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
Beat together the butter and sugar until very light and fluffy, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
Add the cream and beat until fully incorporated.
Add the melted & cooled chocolate, beat on low to combine, then beat on medium-high for around 3 minutes. It should be smooth and creamy.
Mix through the lemon zest, then spread evenly over the base.
Chill for 2 hours or overnight.
Notes
Equipment used: food processor, handheld beater or stand mixer, 8 inch square baking tin or 9x13 baking tin
I use a standard Australian 20ml tablespoon
You can use biscuits like Marie, Milk Arrowroot, Milk Coffee, Digestives, Graham Crackers or a combination.
500g of biscuits / cookies equals roughly 4 cups
Lemons: Zest them first, then juice them through a strainer
For simple, classic lemon slice icing: melt 1 tablespoon (15g) unsalted butter, then add 2 cups of icing sugar and the juice of 1 lemon. Mix it to an icing and spread over the top of the base.
