Lemon Coconut Squares


Base:

½ cup of sweetened condensed milk

125g (4oz) of butter

250g (8oz) of milk arrowroot biscuits

1 teaspoon of grated lemon rind

1 cup of coconut

Lemon Icing:

1 and ¾ cups of icing sugar

3 tablespoons of lemon juice

15g (½ oz) of butter

2 tablespoons of coconut

Base: Place the condensed milk and butter in a small saucepan and stir over gentle heat until the butter has melted and the mixture is combined. Crush arrowroot biscuits very finely, add the grated lemon rind and coconut and mix well. Add the warm condensed milk and butter mixture to biscuit crumbs, mix ingredients together with hands. Press into a greased 28cm x 18cm (11in x 7in) lamington tin and refrigerate for 1 hour. Ice with the Lemon Icing and sprinkle with coconut. When the icing has set, cut the slice into squares.

Lemon Icing: Combine sifted icing sugar, lemon juice and soft butter in a bowl. Mix well to make a smooth icing.

Oh, this sounds good.....and easy......my kind of recipe.

Unfortunately soccer season has started and there is no way I will be able to make any mini meets for some time.........will have to make some of these and eat them at the next game..........at least my wallet is safer that way!

Thanks for sharing
Deb

I might have to visit Sydney again......... looks like the food is just getting better..........

cheers

Thanks for the recipe, Nick,

I've set Chryssine the task of matching yours over the weekend

Geez! As if it's not bad enough missing out on seeing Birdy's toybox, now you're teasing us with cullinary delights as well???!!!

So I suppose the deal is that if we northerners can ever get down there one of these days we bring:

a) A full wallet, and
b) An empty stomach.

NOTE TO ALL:

They are absolutely delicious

Manta,
Always welcome! if you have a chance, please pop in

Trust me Thanh - if I'm ever down there, a mini meet at the House of Lust will be at the top of my 'must do' list.

It's odd....but besides playing some form of guitar, most D70 users are also good cooks. What gives here?

Maybe it all has to do with creativity?

Going by the response in this link the theory isn't perfect. While most love cooking there are those who'd burn water  PS Shame I missed the slice Nick sounds pretty tasty!
