Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup icing sugar
  • 1 cup coconut
  • 200g butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 limes
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup flour

Instructions

  • Turn your oven to 160 degrees and line the base and sides of a 20cm x 30cm slice tin with baking paper.
  • To make the base, place the first measure of flour, the icing sugar, coconut and butter in a food processor and pulse until the mixture is like fine breadcrumbs. Press firmly into the slice tin and bake for 10 minutes.
  • While the base is baking, peel the lime very thinly to have strips of lime peel with as little white pith as possible.
  • Place in the food processor with the sugar and pulse until the peel is very finely chopped and the mixture is fragrant.
  • Just before you take the base out of the oven, add the eggs, flour and the juice of the limes to the food processor and mix briefly until smooth.
  • Pour the filling over the base, then bake another 20 minutes, or until firm to the touch.
  • Cool completely then cut into slices and enjoy.
