This is a treat. It's a mighty delicious, super yummy treat. It's my lemon fridge slice, that I've been making since I first started "cooking". It doesn't need to be baked, but as the name suggests, it does need to be kept in the fridge!
Why you're going to love this recipe
Packed with veggies. NOPE. Packed with sugar. It's a treat, people! And everyone needs a little sweetness in their life. So trust me, it's so delicious, you will wish you could eat it every day. Actually, you'll probably find yourself trying to work out how many times around the block you need to run to compensate for a piece.
- no bake
- lemony flavour
- quick to make
- keeps for a week!
Classic flavours
Eating this takes me back to my childhood as my grandma made this for me when I was little. I spent a lot of my time at her place when I was growing up, and a lot of time licking the wooden spoon right next to her on the bench. Lemon combined with coconut was one of her favourite flavours!
No bake
It's perfect to whip up for people coming over, you don't even need to turn on the oven! If you're cheeky like me, do the melting in the microwave. The best part about it, is you set it in a container, so you can then just chop it up and return it to the container.
Substitutions
- condensed milk- coconut condensed milk! It actually adds a really delicious flavour
- butter- coconut oil

Do I need a food processor?
Keen to get started? I blitzed the biscuits in my food processor, but you don't need one. However crushed your biscuits turn out doesn't matter, because it just adds to the crunch of the base!
