LEMON SLICE (NO BAKE)

A slice is a wonderful sweet treat.  They are even more wonderful when there is no baking involved.  This slice is easy to make and even easier made in the CC.  Feel free to add some lemon zest to the icing - I usually do but didn't on this occasion because I accidentally grated my finger whilst zesting the lemon for the base and I was a bit gun shy!
