INGREDIENTS

Makes 24 balls

200 g raw cashew nuts

50 g almond meal

1 cup desiccated coconut

1/4 cup coconut oil 

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

2 tablespoons maple syrup

2 tablespoons Healthy Chef Protein 

Raw Chocolate Dipping Sauce

1/4 cup cacao butter

1 tablespoon organic maple syrup

1 tablespoon tahini, room temperature

2 tablespoons Naked Chocolate 

METHOD

Combine cashew nuts, coconut, almonds and salt into a food processor.

Process for a few seconds or until the mixture looks like fine golden crumbs. If you are wanting to add more protein then please add 2 tablespoons of protein at this stage.

Add vanilla, maple and coconut oil.

Mix until the raw lamington comes together.

Roll into small balls and set aside.

Place cacao butter into a small bowl and sit over some freshly boiled water for a few seconds until it melts then remove quickly from the heat.

Add the rest of the ingredients from the dipping sauce recipe and mix well - I normally use a small mini hand whisk.

Dip balls into the chocolate sauce then roll into coconut.

Store in the fridge (covered) for up to 2 weeks.

Enjoy and delight.

NOTES & INSPIRATION

For a variation of this recipe... omit the dipping sauce all together and add 2 tablespoons of Naked Chocolate to the base recipe before blending for a chocolate lamington. If doing so you may need to add another 1/2 tablespoon maple to the recipe.

BLEND two lamington balls with 1 cup coconut water or coconut milk, 1 small banana and 1 cup ice for the most magnificent lamington smoothie.
