INGREDIENTS

  1. Grease and line a 3cm-deep, 25cm rectangular cake tin.
  2. Place the condensed milk and butter in a small saucepan over a medium heat. Heat, stirring, for four to five minutes or until the butter melts.
  3. Place the McVITIE’S DIGESTIVES© in a food processor and process to fine crumbs. Combine the crumbs, coconut and two teaspoons of lemon rind in a bowl. Add the hot butter mixture and stir until well combined.
  4. Press the biscuit mixture into the prepared tin. Refrigerate for one and a half hours or until firm.
  5. To make the lemon icing, cream the butter with a hand mixer until smooth and fluffy, approx. 1 minute. Gradually beat in icing sugar until fully incorporated, and then beat in the juice of 1 lemon. If you find that your icing is too stiff, add in a small bit of water and whip the icing until it is the consistency you are looking for.
  6. Spread the icing over the base. Refrigerate for a further 30 minutes or until the icing has set. Cut into pieces and serve.
