Lamington French Toast with Raspberry Jam Syrup

Chocolate iced French Toasts covered in finely desiccated coconut and drizzled with a raspberry jam syrup for the most decadent French Toasts….ever. I’m thrilled to announce this recipe is the winner of Australia’s Best Recipes Home Cook Hero Classic Australian Competition! You can find the article here AND read more about what inspires me here.

Your Australia Day breakfast is covered with our classic Australian Lamington with a breakfast twist! Lamington French Toasts!

Australians all let us rejoice! Lamingtons are beautiful cake squares covered in sweet sweet chocolate and coconut. They are a beautiful treat at tea times, for breakfast, or after any meal.

Starting Australia Day the Australian way – besides fried eggs, sausages and bacon on the bbq- is the only Australian thing to do. Instead of stuffing these with cream and jam (which you could totally do too), make this incredible jam syrup.

A matter of turning any plain old french toast with any plain old bread you have lying around….

…..and turn it into an incredible way to start your day.

Dunk it, dip it, drizzle it..

Eat it! Done.

Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 15 mins
Total: 25 mins
Serves: 4 people

Ingredients

French Toasts:

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (full fat, low fat or skim milk)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 4 slices day-old bread of choice

Chocolate Icing:

  • 2/3 cups icing (powdered) sugar
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup of warm/boiling water

Raspberry/Strawberry Syrup:

  • 1/4 cup Raspberry or Strawberry Jam
  • 3 tablespoons boiling water

Additional Ingredient:

  • 1/2 cup desiccated/finely shredded coconut (you won't use it all, but it helps to have this quantity to evenly coat the french toasts)

Instructions

  • Whisk eggs and milk together in a wide shallow dish. Add one piece of bread at a time to soak in the egg mix. 
  • Heat a lightly buttered pan over medium heat. Fry each bread until golden on each side and cooked through. Repeat with each slice.
  • To Make the Chocolate Icing: In another shallow dish, whisk together the icing sugar and cocoa powder. Add the warm/boiling water and mix until a thick chocolate sauce-like icing forms.
  • Prepare a separate shallow dish with the coconut and set aside. Dip each french toast into the chocolate icing until all sides are evenly covered; allow any excess icing to drip off, then place each chocolate covered french toast into the bowl of coconut; turning to evenly cover. (Sprinkle coconut over the top to get a good coating.)
  • To Make the Jam Syrup: combine the jam and water in a serving jug, and whisk until a syrup forms.
  • To serve: drizzle the jam syrup over the top to serve!

    This does look truly decadent. I love how you enveloped the french toast in coconut. The coconut, chocolate and berry syrup would certainly have my taste buds dancing.

    haha what a terrific idea! Certainly not one I’ve ever seen before! The perfect breakfast for Australia Day, in my opinion!

    My sister and I made white chocolate lamingtons yesterday, with a mango & lime curd filling. We were so impressed with how they turned out!

    Thanks for sharing 🙂
