No Bake Lemon Squares - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
32 -36 graham crackers
Filling
1 (300 ml) can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, or bottled
Icing
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 cup icing sugar
2 1/2 - 3 teaspoons lemon juice
Preparation
-
FILLING.
In a small bowl, mix Condensed Milk with the 1/4 cup Lemon Juice. It will appear runny at first but when it sits, it thickens. Set aside.
In a square container (I use a Tupperware square container that I can seal with the lid) line with graham crackers. You will have to cut some crackers to fit. Take a bread and butter knife and gently saw through the cracker until it cuts through.
Top with the lemon mixture.
Top the lemon mixture with another layer of graham crackers. Again, you will have to cut some to fit around the edges.
ICING.
Cream the butter with a bit of the icing sugar until there are no lumps left. Add more icing sugar a bit at a time until it's too hard to stir. Add a tsp of lemon juice and mix until smooth again and no lumps remain. Keep alternating icing sugar and lemon juice until its of spreading consistency.
Spread over top layer of graham crackers.
Cover and let sit over night.
Cut into squares and enjoy.
