Lemon Slice

From the Savvy test kitchen

If you are wanting to make something a bit different for a treat try this recipe. This is a super scrummy lemon slice with a twist, the glaze is like thin meringue.  It does not use butter or oil, just cream cheese - a great way to use up left over cream cheese, instead of throwing it away. My taste testers gave it the big thumbs up!
