Sheila Khan's Easy No-Bake Lemon Tart


Quick and Easy No-Bake Lemon Tart

If, like me you are not keen on cooking, this is a very quick and easy dessert. Elmlea is a cream substitute which may not be available everywhere but I am sure whipping cream would work just as well.

Ingredients:

250 g Digestive Biscuits
100g melted butter or soft margarine
One tin Condensed milk (397g)
One carton Elmlea (whipping) (286g)
Juice and grated rind 3 lemons

Method:

Crush the digestive biscuits. The easiest way to do this is by putting them in a polythene bag and rolling with a rolling pin.

Melt the butter and mix in the biscuit crumbs.

Grease and line a 9 inch flan dish with greaseproof paper.

Spread the crumb base in the flan tin and leave in the fridge until firm.

Using an electric whisk beat together the Elmlea and condensed milk until they a thick and stiff.

Gradually whisk in the lemon juice and then spread the filling over the base.

Finish off by topping with finely grated lemon peel.
