Citrus Slice

CITRUS SLICE.  Has 1 hour 10 minutes chilling time

Matt comments on how delicious this is with every slice, and apparently 1 piece is never enough.  It goes well with tea/coffee or a treat for after dinner.  The one pictured is Lime Slice (made with fresh limes from Lincolns drama tutors tree), this is the first time I made it with limes as I usually make it with lemon.  This is very easy to make – no baking is required; just melting.

Base

250g packet wine biscuits                       1 cup desiccated coconut

120g butter                                            ½ cup condensed milk

Zest of 2 medium lemons or limes. I use a normal zester then finely chop the zest.

Icing

2 cups icing sugar                                  40g butter

Juice of the lemons or limes

Citrus Slice (with Lime)

How to make it

Grease then line a slice pan with baking paper.

Blitz or crush the biscuits until they are fine crumbs. Stir in the coconut and the zest.  Melt the butter and condensed milk together – stirring it over a low heat.  Mix the liquid into the crumb mix, then press it into the tin.

Chill for 1 hour.

Make the icing:  Sift the sugar.  Melt the butter then mix it with the juice into the sugar. Mix until well combined then press it onto the base.  A rubber spatula or dampened fingers helps to get it on. Refrigerate till set. 

Cut into slices once set and enjoy!
