Instructions

Melt the Chocolate:
Begin by placing the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a pot of gently simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Stir the chocolate occasionally until it’s fully melted and smooth. Once the chocolate is melted, remove the bowl from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. -
Prepare the Coconut:
Spread the shredded coconut evenly on a sheet of parchment paper. This will make it easy to roll the marshmallows later without any mess. -
Dip the Marshmallows:
Take each marshmallow and pierce it with a toothpick. Dip the marshmallow into the melted chocolate, making sure it’s fully coated. After dipping, roll the chocolate-covered marshmallow in the shredded coconut, ensuring it’s coated on all sides. -
Dry the Lamingtons:
Place the coconut-covered marshmallows on a cooling rack or a clean sheet of parchment paper. Let them sit for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set and harden. -
Serve:
Once the chocolate has set, your Marshmallow Lamingtons are ready to serve. These treats pair perfectly with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a delightful afternoon snack.
Tips for Success
- Temperature of Chocolate: Don’t let the melted chocolate get too hot. Allow it to cool slightly before dipping the marshmallows so it sticks properly without becoming too runny.
- Coconut Coating: For an extra touch, you can toast the coconut before rolling the marshmallows in it to add a bit of crunch and depth of flavor.
- Storage: Keep any leftover Lamingtons in an airtight container for up to 3 days. They also freeze well if you want to make a batch ahead of time.
