Lamington Chocolate Frosting |
|
Ingredients: |
Ingredients: 4 cups confections sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup milk
2 cups unsweetened desiccated coconut (extra finely shredded)
|
|
Directions: |
Directions:1. Put a saucepan on the stove with water and bring to a simmer/light boil. While waiting for the water to boil set up your bowl of coconut.
2. In a separate bowl, sift the cocoa powder
3. In a heat proof bowl big enough to sit in the saucepan (but not touch the water), put the butter in to melt. When melted add the milk.
4. Mix the cocoa powder and confectionary sugar. Best to do in a couple batches, mixing each lot in with the spatula.
5. Stir the mixture until it is smooth and of pouring consistency. Remove from heat. You don't want it to be too thin.
6. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
7. Take a few squares of the lamington cake out at a time. Put the cake square in the chocolate icing using a large spoon and coat generously in icing.
8. If the icing starts to get too think in the bowl while dipping the cakes return it to heat.
9. Sit the chocolate coated square in the bowl of coconut and using a spoon or spatula toss the coconut oer the entire square.
10. Place on lined cookie sheet and place in fridge for a few hours.
**There will likely be clumps of chocolate icing in your coconut. Pull these out as needed and top up the coconut as needed. You may need an additional couple cups of coconut. |
