You probably know (and love!) the original Lemon & Coconut Slice recipe… it’s SO good! But I know lots of people wonder whether you can make Lemon & Coconut Slice using limes instead. Yes. Yes. YES!! Absolutely! And it’s equally as delicious!
In fact, this recipe is identical to my Lemon & Coconut Slice, but of course it’s made with lime zest and juice in place of lemons. Too simple, right!?
If you’re new to Lime & Coconut Slice, well let me tell you all about it! First of all, it has a super yummy base made from crushed biscuits, condensed milk, butter, lime zest, coconut and lime juice.
Once you’ve pressed the base into a slice tin, it’s time to make the tangy frosting! Simply mix icing sugar, butter and lime juice together until you have a smooth and spreadable consistency. Use a flat knife or spatula to spread the frosting evenly over the top of the slice, sprinkle with extra coconut and grated lime zest and pop into the fridge. See, this really is the easiest Lime & Coconut Slice EVERRRRR!!!
