Zesty lemon weetbix slice. A delicious and tart slice recipe, that is a fun twist to a classic treat. Perfect for afternoon tea or for a lunch snack.
This lemon slice is really yummy for a treat for afternoon tea. I based this recipe off my chocolate weetbix slice but halved the quantities. My husband absolutely loved it. He said “it is up in his Top 5 of all slices I make”….that is a pretty big call. As it only uses three weetbix, this is a great recipe to use the last of the weetbix in the bottom of the box. You could reduce the lemon juice in the icing if you would prefer less tangy icing on your slice.
To make the slice, first crush the weetbix and add to your mixing bowl, as well as caster sugar and coconut. Sift the flour into the bowl.
Add your lemon zest to the bowl and mix all the dry ingredients together. Then add your melted butter and vanilla essence, then mix to combine.
Spoon your slice base mixture into the pan and press down firmly. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
You want to prepare the lemon icing mixture and pour it onto the slice while it is still hot from the oven.
