Gluten Free Four Layer Lemon Slice

Had this after church today.  The base was a little thick so I have reduced it to half in the recipe.  If you want the crust/base to stick together a bit you can substitute the 3 tablespoons sugar for corn syrup or Rogers golden syrup.
Because I wanted to make it the day before serving (Saturday) I made the recipe up to the spreading on the lemon pie filling - covered it and placed in fridge. I saved part of the whipping cream for the top portion and whipped it the next morning -  Sunday morning and spread over the lemon filling, sprinkled with almonds and then lightly covered it again with plastic wrap and placed it in the fridge.  That kept very well for later that day.
