Instructions
Biscuit Base
- *You'll need two large lemons. Using the zest and juice from one lemon for the base and the juice from the second lemon for the icing.

Lemon Icing

- Pour in lemon juice and whisk until well combined, thick and smooth.
- Pour icing over the biscuit base and spread it out with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Transfer to the refrigerator for 2-3 hours or until the icing has set and the base has firmed up. The longer it sits in the fridge, the firmer it gets.
- Remove the slice from the tin and slice it into squares.
