How to make a lamington wreath
- Whip the cream
In a large bowl, whip the thickened cream and icing sugar together until soft peaks form. You want it fluffy but still soft enough to pipe or spoon easily.
- Prepare the lamingtons
Lay your lamington fingers out on a board so they’re ready to assemble. You can use:
Classic chocolate lamington fingers
Pink lamington fingers
Or a mix of both
- Assemble the wreath
Using a piping bag or spoon, add cream to one side of each lamington finger. Place the lamingtons on their side, working in a circle, placing them close together until you form a wreath shape.
- Decorate
Add a little extra cream on top, then decorate with berries, speckled eggs, chocolate eggs, or anything festive you love.
- Serve
Serve immediately, or keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Optional variations
- Fold a spoonful of jam through the cream for extra flavour and a subtle pink colour
- Add lemon zest to the cream for a fresh twist
- Use strawberries, raspberries, or passionfruit for decoration
- Swap cream for mascarpone if you want something richer
