2. Frosting: Whisk butter, lemon juice and icing sugar together to make a creamy frosting. Spread frosting on top of slice base, sprinkle with coconut and refrigerate until set.

3. Once set, remove from tray and slice. Refrigerate or can be frozen also.

Tractor Snacks Tip

A regular can of sweet condensed milk is 395g. To use the full tin (and get more slice) multiply the whole recipe by 1.5, so it uses 1.5 packs of biscuits (which keep fine in an airtight container) and multiply ratios of everything else by 1.5.

Slice and freeze in an airtight container. Defrosts quickly, so can be transferred straight to the lunchbox or platter.
