Lemon Coconut Squares

These are one of my personal favourite bakes EVER...well no-bakes actually.  These Lemon Coconut Squares require absolutely no baking.  None. They are so incredibly tasty you would not believe how super quick and easy they are to make.

With a fudge-like texture these delicious little squares are crammed full of coconut, fresh zesty lemon and some sneaky white chocolate chips.  You will be hooked after the very first bite and I wish you all the luck resisting a second (or third) helping!

Ingredients
Adapted from Butter Baking - makes 16 squares

100g digestive biscuits
100g ginger nut biscuits
1 cup of dessicated coconut plus extra for sprinkling
1 lemon rind, finely grated
80g white chocolate chunks
100g unsalted butter
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
pinch of salt

1.  Line a square 8 inch baking tin with baking parchment and put to one side.

2.  Grind up the biscuits to a fine crumb in a food processor.  If you don't have a food processor just pop the biscuits into a thick resealable sandwich bag and hit with a rolling pin.

3.  Add the dessicated coconut, lemon rind, white chocolate chunks, salt and mix.

4.  Over a medium heat, melt the butter and condensed milk for 3-4 minutes stirring continuously until combined.

5.  Leave to cool for a couple of minutes then fold into the dry mix using a wooden spoon.

6.  Pour into prepared tin and even out with the back of the spoon.

7.  Sprinkle dessicated coconut over the top and gently press down into mix and refrigerate for 2 hours.

8.  Once chilled, remove from the fridge, divide into 16 squares and enjoy!
