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!

250 gram Nice Biscuits
1/2 cups Desiccated coconut
1.75 cups Icing Sugar
Directions
- 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.

- Press this mixture into the bottom of the lamington tin, and press down to make firm.
- To Make the Lemon Icing:
- 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.
