  2. In a bowl, whisk the condensed milk and lemon juice together until smooth and combined. Pour over the Weet Bix base.
  3. Bake for another 20 minutes or until the edges are slightly bubbling and the top layer is set.
Chill and Serve
  1. Set aside to cool to room temperature, then place in the fridge overnight to chill.
  2. Once chilled, cut into generous rectangles to serve.

Notes

For a street-food vibe, plate with a scatter of grated lemon zest and toasted coconut, or wrap pieces in parchment for picnic-style snacking. A shot of espresso or a bright herbal tea pairs beautifully.
