1 cup desiccated coconut, plus extra 2 Tbsp

125g unsalted butter, melted, cooled

3 lemons, 1 finely zested and 2 juiced (you’ll need 2/3 cup)

3. Stir juice into condensed milk in a bowl. Spread over base. Sprinkle with extra coconut.
4. Bake for 15 minutes, or until filling is set and lightly browned on edges. Cool, then refrigerate for about 3 hours, or until cold.
5. Using baking paper, lift slice from pan. Cut into rectangles. Serve.
