    What You Need

    You need just a few basic ingredients to make this delicious Coconut & Lime Slice!!

    Note: Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

    For The Base

    The individual ingredients for a slice in separate bowls on a benchtop.
    • plain sweet biscuits (cookies) - I like to use Arnotts Marie Biscuits for this recipe, but any plain sweet biscuit will work well. Graham Crackers are a popular plain cookie in the US
    • desiccated coconut - use finely dried desiccated coconut
    • butter - you can use either salted or unsalted butter in this recipe
    • sweetened condensed milk - it's important to use full fat sweetened condensed milk in this slice as the skim version will not set as firmly
    • lime juice - you can use either fresh or bottled lime juice in this recipe, however I prefer freshly squeezed lime if you have it on hand
    • lime zest - finely grate the green skin from the fresh limes.

    For The Icing

    The individual icing ingredients for a citrus slice.
    • icing sugar - you can use either pure icing sugar or icing sugar mixture in this recipe. Personally, I prefer pure icing sugar as it sets firmer which is better for lunch boxes
    • butter - use salted or unsalted butter for this recipe
    • lime juice - use freshly squeezed limes or bottled lime juice
    • desiccated coconut - for sprinkling on top.

    Step By Step Instructions

    Just 15 minutes prep time and a few simple steps is all that's needed to make this delicious Coconut & Lime Slice!

    Note: Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

    Step 1 - Crush The Biscuits

    Use a food processor, Thermomix or a rolling pin to crush the biscuits into fine crumbs.

    Step 6 - Make Icing

    Place all the icing ingredients in a bowl and mix until well combined.

    TIP: If the mixture is too soft, add a little extra icing sugar and mix. If it's too firm to spread, add a small amount of extra lime juice.

    FAQ's and Tips

    Can I use lemons instead of limes in this recipe?

    Yes, you can!! Click here for the lemon version of this slice.

    What if my icing is too thick?

    Just add a little more lime juice until it is a spreadable consistency.

    Can I use skim sweetened condensed milk?

    No, you will need to use the full fat version for this recipe as skim sweetened condensed milk just doesn't set the slice firm enough.

    What are some other plain biscuits I could use instead of Arnotts Marie?

    You can use any plain, sweet biscuit for this recipe such as Graham crackers in the US, or plain digestive biscuits.

    What is the difference between pure icing sugar and icing mixture?

    Pure icing sugar is just sugar processed so finely that it is almost a powder consistency. It is the preferred icing sugar for this recipe, as it sets harder than icing mixture.
    Icing mixture, also known as soft icing sugar, is a combination of icing sugar and a small amount of cornflour. This makes the icing sugar easier to mix with less lumps but is softer upon setting.

    Storing

    Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

    Freezing

    Freeze the slice in an airtight container for up to two months. Bring to room temperature before serving.

    Ingredients

    • 250 g plain sweet biscuits like Arnott's Marie biscuits, see notes
    • 90 g (1 cup) desiccated coconut
    • grated zest from 3 limes
    • 80 g butter melted
    • 250 g (¾ cup) sweetened condensed milk
    • 90 ml (6 tbs) lime juice approx 3 limes

    For the lime frosting:

    • 360 g (3 cups) icing sugar see notes
    • 90 g butter room temperature
    • 75 ml (5 tbs) lime juice approx 2-3 limes
    • 30 g (3 tbs) desiccated coconut

    Instructions

    Conventional Method

    • Grease and line a 22cm x 32cm rectangular slice tin with baking paper.
    • Crush biscuits and place into a bowl. Add coconut and grated lime zest. Mix to combine.
    • Add melted butter, condensed milk and lime juice to the biscuit mixture. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
    • Press into the prepared tin. Place into the fridge.
    • In a bowl, whisk the icing sugar, butter and lime juice in a bowl until creamy and 'frosting-like' - if the frosting is too thick to spread, add a little more lime juice.
    • Spread the frosting over the slice, sprinkle with the extra coconut and place back into the fridge to set completely (a minimum of 2 hours chilling time is required).
    • Cut into slices.

    Thermomix Method

    • Grease and line a 22cm x 32cm rectangular slice tin with baking paper.
    • Cut the lime rind off with a sharp knife. Place the lime rind into the Thermomix bowl and chop finely for 50 seconds, Speed 8 or until it has a finely grated feel (you will need to scrape down the sides of the bowl a few times).
    • Add the biscuits and crush for 10 seconds, Speed 7, or until the biscuits resemble fine crumbs. Set the biscuits and lime zest aside.
    • Place the butter into the Thermomix bowl and melt for 2 minutes, 60 degrees, Speed 3 (you may need to scrape the sides of the bowl down with a spatula after 1 minute).
    • Add the sweetened condensed milk and lime juice. Mix for 5 seconds, Speed 3 or until well combined.
    • Add the dry biscuit mixture and the coconut to the Thermomix bowl. Mix all ingredients together for 5 seconds, Speed 4. Scrape down the sides with a spatula and mix again for 10 seconds, Speed 4.
    • Firmly press the mixture into the prepared tin and place into the fridge.
    • Place the icing sugar, butter and lime juice into the Thermomix bowl and mix for 20 seconds, Speed 4. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Mix for a further 30 seconds, Speed 4.
    • Spread the frosting over the slice, sprinkle with the extra coconut and place back into the fridge to set completely (a minimum of 2 hours chilling time is required).
    • Cut into slices.

        Hi Fran, try adding a little less condensed milk to the base next time and it will be firmer. xx
