Marshmallow Lamingtons are a classic dessert in Australia and New Zealand. Originating from Australia, this sweet treat consists of a cube of sponge cake coated in chocolate sauce and rolled in desiccated coconut. In this twist on the original recipe, marshmallows are added to make the dessert even more decadent. The soft, gooey texture of the marshmallows provides a delicious contrast to the crunch of the coconut and the richness of the chocolate.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13 inch baking pan.
2.	Spread the desiccated coconut on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and toast in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3.	Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water and let it cool to room temperature.
4.	Cut marshmallows into bite-sized pieces.
5.	Put the toasted coconut in a large mixing bowl, then pour the melted chocolate over it and mix well. Add the marshmallow pieces and stir gently to combine.
6.	Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Allow to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes. Then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
7.	Lift the chilled Marshmallow Lamingtons out of the baking pan using the parchment paper. Cut them into square pieces and serve.
