Hints & Tips
- Use fresh citrus – Freshly squeezed orange juice and grated rind will give the slice a brighter flavour.
- Crush biscuits finely – A finer crumb will give a smoother, more even texture.
- Press firmly – Compact the mixture well in the dish to help it hold together when sliced.
- Chill thoroughly – Allow at least 2 hours in the fridge before slicing for clean, neat squares.
- Make it extra zesty – Add a little extra orange zest to the mixture for a stronger citrus kick.
