🍋 With only 4 ingredients, this slice is one of the most delicious lemon slices I’ve ever tasted! And although everyone loves chocolate, I feel like lemon is a bit more of an “adult” flavour to give as a gift, and that’s why it’s my first choice for World Teacher’s Day! It’s the one my son’s teachers will be getting this year!
It was actually a customer who first introduced me to this recipe, thank you Melissa Yates! Even though it can be a bit fiddly peeling the lemon, the Thermomix makes it easy to create rind because we simply blitz it up with the sugar! My tip here, is make sure you get yourself in a good, sharp peeler. A super sharp blade will slice through the rind effortlessly without collecting any of the white pith. Peeler’s aren’t expensive, and a worthwhile investment in my opinion for anyone who uses them for citrus peel. I use the Tovolo Precision Peeler from Minimax but I hear the Sharple peeler from The Mix Shop is absolutely amazing: https://thermomix.com.au/products/sharple-food-peeler-black
This slice is an absolute flavour bomb, but don’t be scared to add extra rind if you want to achieve a really big lemon hit!
To present your slice, have your kid decorate the edges of a paper plate, place 4 slices of your Lemon Slice on the plate and wrap it in cellophane with a yellow ribbon, and a hanging “thank you” gift tag. Super cute!! (I always like to list the ingredients on the back of the tag as well.)
Please let me know if you’ve tried this recipe, and what you thought!!
I’d also love to hear what your favourite gift recipes are, as I’m always on the hunt for recommendations! 🎁
