Notes

To enhance the texture, strain your citrus juice to avoid any pulp. Proper cooling is essential for cutting clean squares; refrigerate overnight for best results. Feel free to customize by adding coconut, berries, or using different citrus varieties. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for long-term storage.
