A true Aussie classic, lamingtons go from morning tea to luscious dessert with jam and coffee cream.

Preparation Time

15 minutes

Ingredients (serves 6)

  • 300ml thickened cream
  • 1 tbs coffee liqueur (such as Tia Maria)
  • 1 tbs icing sugar
  • 6 Woolworths Chocolate Lamingtons, halved horizontally
  • 115g (1/3 cup) strawberry jam
  • Dark chocolate curls, to serve

Method

  1. Place the cream, liqueur and icing sugar in a medium bowl. Use an electric beater to beat until firm peaks form. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cream mixture.

  2. Spread the cut side of the lamington bases with the jam.

  3. Spoon or pipe the cream mixture over the jam. Top with the remaining lamington. Divide among serving plates. Top with the reserved cream mixture and chocolate curls to serve.

Notes

Cook's tip: To make chocolate curls, run a vegetable peeler along a block of chocolate.
