5. Bake the base for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. 
6. Set aside base to cool slightly. 
7. In a mixing bowl, mix your caster sugar, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest and 3/4 of your coconut, mixing until combined.
8. Pour lemon mixture on top of your cooked base and sprinkle the remaining coconut on top. 
9. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden and set. 
10. Leave to cool before slicing and serving. 
11. We like to serve this slice chilled, chilling the slice after it has cooled and then slicing. 
12. This slice will keep for 2-3 days in the fridge in an airtight container.
