_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!

### Ingredients

 * 395 grams Condensed milk (1 tin)

 * 1 tbsp Lemon juice
 * 1 tsp Lemon zest
 * 250 grams 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.
 * 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.
