I suppose these would be more authentically “lamington” if they weren’t chocolate all the way through. Or, you know, if they were actually made from cake! In saying that, the coconut flour does help create that cakey texture.
These little mouthfuls of bliss are the perfect treat for a low-carber. I got 20 balls from my mixture, but how many you make is totally up to how big you want them.
