Cafe latte lamingtons with strawberry jam

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

Ingredients:

- 300ml thickened cream

- 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (such as Tia Maria)

- 1 tablespoon icing sugar

- 6 chocolate lamingtons, halved horizontally

- 115g (1/3 cup) strawberry jam

- Dark chocolate curls, to serve

To Make:

Step 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.

Step 2

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

Step 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.

Cook’s tip:

To make chocolate curls, run a vegetable peeler along a block of chocolate.
