My Lemon Slice Recipe is a tangy, no bake (fridge) lemon slice with dried blueberries and a quick and simple white chocolate topping.
If you like a little zing in your sweet treats, then this lemon slice recipe is for you! It combines the flavours of fresh lemon and blueberry, plus an extra simple white chocolate topping instead of the more traditional lemon icing that you normally find in a recipe for lemon slice - all in a no bake (fridge) slice. A total win-win!
The hardest part about making this slice is letting it set in the fridge before you eat it! It's also a great recipe for the kids to help out with - no hot stoves or ovens.
Do you cook a lot with lemons? I do - there are always fresh lemons in my fridge (they keep for ages in there).
Ingredients you will need to make this slice
- plain sweet biscuits (I used Marie)
- condensed milk
- butter
- lemon juice and zest
- desiccated coconut
- dried blueberries

How to make this slice recipe

- Melt in the microwave, then stir to combine.
- Pour the melted white chocolate on top of the lemon biscuit base, tilting to spread.

My top tips for making this recipe
- As with any no bake slice, one of the advantages is that you don't need a baking tin to make it in. If you don't have a baking tin of the right size, just use something else such a plastic container like tupperware etc.
- The size of the tin/container to set this slice into is the maximum I would use, any larger and the base will be a bit too thin plus there won't be enough chocolate for full coverage. BUT smaller would be fine, the layers will just be a bit thicker.
- You can substitute another plain sweet biscuit for the Marie biscuits.
Slice stuck in the pan?
- Always grease and line you baking tin/pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on each side. This gives you something to grip onto to pull the slice out of the tin.
- Still stuck? Sit the base of the tin/pan in hot water for a few seconds, then give the parchment another tug and it should come straight out.
