Lamingtons

  • Quickly moisten cakes (without soaking much of the dipping) - easiest is with putting on kitchen gloves instead forking the cake
  • Roll to coat on coconut
  • Serve chilled (is the best IMO)

Cream

  • The night before, chill a can of coconut to produce coconut cream.
  • Scoop our hardened coconut cream into a mixer bowl and beat with 1/4 c icing sugar until whipped cream consistency
  • Pipe/spoon a dollop onto lamingtons
