No-Bake Iced Lemon Squares

An easy, no-bake Iced Lemon Squares recipe with crushed biscuits, coconut, condensed milk, icing sugar, lemon and lemon water icing.
Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 0 minutes
Course Dessert, Snack
Servings 9 squares

Ingredients
  

  • 7 oz or 200g plain biscuits eg Rich Tea, Maria, Digestives
  • 1 lemon, rind and juice
  • 3 oz or 85g dessicated coconut
  • 4 oz or 110g butter
  • 7 oz or 200g condensed milk (half a can)
  • 8 oz or 225g icing sugar/powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Line an 8"/20cm square tin with baking parchment and set aside.
  • Crush the biscuits, either in a food processor or by placing the cookies into a sealed freezer bag and hitting them with a rolling pin or crushing with the base of a saucepan. 
  • With the crushed biscuits in a large bowl, add the coconut and the grated rind of the lemon and mix.
  • Put the butter and condensed milk in a small saucepan and heat gently until the butter has melted. Add to the dry ingredients and mix well.
  • Place in your lined tin and leave to set.  This took 1-2 hours in the fridge for me.
  • When the base has set, cover with lemon icing (using lemon juice in place of water). I used approximately 3 tbsp of lemon juice, blended with 225g of icing sugar to make a thick paste.
  • If you prefer, you can top the icing with coconut or sprinkles before it sets. Or leave it as it is. Then slice into squares and enjoy!
