These no bake lemon and coconut squares are an easy, oven-free treat with a firm, chewy texture and a fresh, zesty flavour. Topped with a simple lemon icing for a bright finish, they are quick to prepare and make a great summer treat. The hardest part is just waiting for them to set before slicing and serving.
