👩‍🍳 Method

1. Prepare the base: Crush the digestive biscuits finely, either in a food processor or by placing them in a zip-lock bag and rolling them with a pin. Mix the crushed biscuits with melted butter until well combined. Press firmly into the base of a square or rectangular dish and place in the fridge to set.
2. Make the lemon filling: In a bowl, mix the condensed milk with lemon juice and lemon zest until smooth and slightly thickened. Gently fold in the whipped cream to create a light, fluffy filling.
3. Assemble the squares: Spread the lemon filling evenly over the chilled biscuit base. Smooth the top with a spatula.
4. Add the meringue: Sprinkle mini meringues or crushed meringue over the top for a crunchy, sweet finish.
5. Chill & serve: Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours until fully set. Cut into squares and enjoy the perfect balance of tart lemon, creamy filling, and crunchy meringue.

💡 Tips & Variations
Boost the tang: Add a little extra lemon zest or a splash more lemon juice for a sharper citrus kick. Make it fancy: Top with a drizzle of white chocolate or a few fresh berries. Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
