Chocolate Lamington Pancakes

Pancake day has come and gone but this idea for Chocolate Lamington Pancakes has been lingering on in my mind for a few months now.

They’re delicious,light and fluffy, dipped in a delicious chocolate sauce and desiccated coconut served with a side of raspberries.

When I first mentioned this idea to my husband I remember him smiling, shaking his head and asking “how do you come up with these ideas?”

Well honey, I have no idea 😂, all I can say is that the Food God’s and I are like this 🤞.


Here’s how you can make them.
