Absolutely, loved this, I added a third more of the ingredients for a thicker filling and left off the brown sugar, as the biscuit base is sweet enough for us. Total winner, would definitely make again. So much better than shop bought ones.

Very pleasant. Suggest double the amount of biscuits for a firmer, thicker base and definitely not more than two lemons. Will try this again.

Made this with ginger biscuits and did not add sugar to the biscuit mix. Dusted it with choc powder to finish. Lovely.
