This is by far the most beautiful thing I have ever made. I merged two images of a lamington wreath and a macaroon wreath to create their love child. I literally only melted white chocolate and whipped cream so I would call this less cooking and more artwork. Either way I guarantee this will become your signature Christmas dish when you are hosting.
Prep: 25 mins | Cook time: 15 mins | Serves: 10-12
What you will need:
Strawberry syrup
- 1x Punnet strawberries
- ¼ Cup sugar
Remaining
- 600ml Whipped cream
- 1x Block of melted white chocolate
- 2x Punnets of strawberries
- 1x Packet mini meringues
- 1x Packet mini meringues crushed
- 1x Punnet raspberries
- 1x Punnet cherries (½ chopped in half, ½ remaining whole)
- 12x Macarons
- 1x Packet of pink lamingtons cut in half lengthwise
- 1x Packet chocolate lamingtons cut in half lengthwise
To garnish: A handful pomegranate seeds and a handful of edible flowers
Method
- Place the strawberry sauce ingredients into a small saucepan and cook over medium heat and stir and squish down the strawberries until they melt into a sauce. Remove and allow to cool
- Using a basting brush, paint a circle on to a large platter using the melted white chocolate
- Build the base using the lamingtons, alternating both colours with some laying flat and some on their sides to build some height
- Dollop some whipped cream sparingly over the top of the lamingtons (don’t cover all the lamingtons, you still want to be able to see most of them)
- Scatter the fruit all around the wreath
- Add in the macarons and the mini meringue kisses (you can use some of the melted white chocolate to stick them on if you think they might slip off)
- Sprinkle over some crushed meringue on top and around the platter
- Drizzle the strawberry sauce and white chocolate on top
- Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds and edible flowers on top to garnish
- Serve it to WOW your guests and enjoy!
