Apricot Slice

Ingredients:

Base

100g butter
3/4 cup (1/2 395g tin) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup dried apricots, finely chopped
1 cup desiccated coconut
2 tbsp lemon juice
375g plain, sweet biscuits, crushed to coarse crumbs

Icing

50g butter
3 tbsp boiling water
1 tbsp lemon juice
3 1/2 cups icing sugar

Method

Line a 30cm x 24cm sponge roll or baking tin with baking paper.

To make base, heat butter and condensed milk in a pot over a low heat until butter melts. Remove from heat. Mix together apricots, coconut and lemon juice, then add crushed biscuits. Mix in butter and condensed milk, stirring until well combined. Press into prepared tin and refrigerate until set (about 1 hour), before icing.

To make icing, melt butter and mix to a smooth consistency with boiling water, lemon juice and icing sugar. Spread over base. Cut into slices and store in an airtight container in a cool place.
