Wait until you try this fabulous recipe for No bake lemon slice made without any added sugar. The recipe is uses a home made condensed milk and the flavours and method for making these healthy sweet treats, is very similar to the classic recipe for No Bake Lemon Slice.
Topping Options
I've given you the option of either icing/frosting the slice or you can simply sprinkle some coconut on top to serve. Either way, it tastes delicious. The end result is a simple to make but reasonably healthy snack. It is ideal for diabetics, celiacs or any one with a gluten intolerance. It's also perfect for anyone following a low carb or sugar free diet.
Lemon Bliss Balls
This recipe is suitable for making into bliss balls as well. Just follow the recipe and shape into balls instead of pressing into a slice pan. Roll the balls in coconut and store in the fridge or freezer.
Storing Low Carb No Bake Lemon Slice
I love to slice this up and freeze it in portions so it's easy to grab one if ever I feel like a healthy treat. You do need to store this slice in the fridge if you aren't freezing it, as it will soften at room temperature.
