Ingredients

  • 1 recipe Dairy-free sponge cake
  • 200 g Dairy-free chocolate
  • 1 tbsp Coconut oil
  • 1 cup Desiccated coconut

Instructions

  1. 1Cut the 1 recipe Dairy-free sponge cake into 1/2-inch (1.25 cm) cubes.
  2. 2Place the 200 g Dairy-free chocolate and 1 tbsp Coconut oil into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave on medium power (50%) for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue heating in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted, which should take 1 to 2 minutes in total.
  3. 3Using a fork or skewer, dip each sponge cake cube into the melted chocolate mixture, ensuring it is completely covered. Lift the cube out and allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
  4. 4Immediately place the chocolate-coated cube into a shallow dish containing the 1 cup Desiccated coconut. Roll the cube gently, pressing lightly to ensure the coconut adheres to all sides.
  5. 5Place the finished lamington bites onto a wire rack. Let them rest at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes, or in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes, until the chocolate coating is firm to the touch. This resting allows the chocolate to set properly.
