Ingredients
  

  • 250 grams Gingernut biscuits (or any plain cookies)
  • 100 grams melted butter (4 oz)
  • ½ tin sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup dessicated coconut
  • ½ cup chopped dried apricots
Icing
  • 75 grams butter (soft)
  • 2 cups icing sugar
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 lemon - zest

Method
 

  1. Prepare a swiss roll tin with baking paper.
  2. Crush your biscuits using a food processor. If you don't have a food processor, put the biscuits into a zip lock plastic bag, and smash with a rolling pin, until crumbed.
  3. Add all of the dry ingredients into a large bowl (crushed biscuits, apricots, and coconut).
  4. Add in the melted butter and sweetened condensed milk, and mix until well combined.
  5. Press into a lined swiss roll tin. (For a 'deeper' slice, use a square cake tin)
To make the icing;
  1. Put the butter, icing sugar, lemon juice and 1/2 the lemon zest into a bowl, and beat until smooth.
  2. Spread over the slice, then sprinkle the rest of the zest over the top.
  3. Pop into the fridge for a couple of hours, before slicing.
  4. Store any uneaten slice in the fridge, for up to a week.
