    What You Need

    This simple slice is made from just a few basic ingredients:

    Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

    • plain sweet biscuits - I like to use Arnotts Marie biscuits but you can use any variety of plain sweet biscuits you like (known as cookies in the US).
    • sweetened condensed milk - choose the full fat (not skim) version as it sets firmer.
    • butter - salted or unsalted is fine.
    • lemon juice - fresh lemon juice from lemons (not bottled) is best. For an extra lemony kick, add grated lemon zest to the base.
    • coconut - choose fine desiccated coconut (not flakes or shredded)
    • icing sugar - choose pure icing sugar for a firmer icing or icing sugar mixture for a softer icing (I prefer pure icing sugar)

    Step By Step Instructions

    Make The Base

    Start by melting the butter in the Thermomix bowl. Add the biscuits and mix until finely crushed (a few small chunks are fine!).

    Add the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice and coconut and mix to combine.

    Note: The mixture will be quite sticky at this stage.

    Press the mixture very firmly into a baking paper lined tin. You will need to use the flat side of a spoon to spread and press the mixture.

    Make The Icing

    Place the icing sugar and lemon juice into the Thermomix bowl. Mix until smooth and combined.

    If the icing is too runny, add a little extra icing sugar and mix again. Spread the icing over the slice and sprinkle extra coconut over the top (optional).

    Expert Tips

    How can I make it taste more lemony?

    I LOVE lemon and so I always add a tablespoon of finely grated lemon zest to the base mixture.

    How do I make my icing firmer?

    Pure icing sugar will set firmer than icing sugar mixture so I recommend using that. If you find your icing is too runny, add a little more icing sugar and mix again.

    Help! My icing is too thick!

    Simply add a little more lemon juice and mix again. You want the consistency to be firm but spreadable.

    Storing and Freezing

    Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

      I made this with Gluten Free biscuits, it still seems very sticky after being in the fridge overnight. Tastes amazing, just a bit messy to eat.
