  • Once set, garnish with sprinkled lemon zest & lemon slices for serving.

Notes

Nice biscuits are an Australian staple that are often used in baking. If unavailable, substitute a similar sweet biscuit that is sweet and will crumble well.
You may like to add more or less lemon juice- adjust the quantity to your taste.
