Ingredients:
For the base
2 packets of plain sweet biscuits (I use Griffins Krispie Biscuits)
1 tin (395gms) of sweetened condensed milk
1 cup desiccated coconut
200g butter
1 lemon, juiced and zested
For the Icing
2 cups icing sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
50g butter, melted
Desiccated coconut, for decorating
Instructions:
For the base
Line a rectangle baking tin with some baking paper.
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice. Stir until incorporated. The mixture should be warm but not hot. Remove from the heat.
Place biscuits into a food processor and process to fine crumbs. Combine biscuit crumbs, coconut and lemon zest into a bowl.
Add the warm butter and condensed milk mixture to the biscuit crumbs and stir to combine.
Press the biscuit mixture into your baking tin to create and even layer.
For the Icing
Make the icing by combings all ingredients (excluding the coconut) into a bowl and stir to combine. Spread the icing over your biscuit base and sprinkle the coconut on top.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
