Citrus Slice

200g (7oz) butter, melted
1 tin condensed milk
170g (6oz) coconut
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
450g (1 lb) dry biscuits (eg. graham crackers/milk or coffee biscuits/cookies), crushed

ICING -
1 cup icing sugar
2 tablespoons soft butter
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
lemon jelly (jello) crystals

Combine butter and condensed milk.  Add coconut, lemon rind and crushed biscuits.  Stir until well-combined (will be a stiff, dry mixture).  Press into greased 28x20cm (11x8") cake pan and refrigerate until set.

Combine icing sugar, butter and lemon juice.  If icing is too dry, add butter until a soft icing texture; if too moist, add icing sugar.  Spread icing over slice after it has set, and sprinkle with jelly crystals.
