⭐ What Are Tim Tams?

Tim Tams are a chocolate-coated biscuit with two layers of crispy cookies sandwiching a creamy chocolate filling. They are best enjoyed with the famous "Tim Tam Slam"—biting off both ends and using the biscuit as a straw for hot coffee or tea!

🛒 Ingredients

For the Biscuit Layers:

• 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour

• ¼ cup (25g) cocoa powder

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon baking powder

• ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened

• ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar

• 1 large egg

• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Cream Filling:

• ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened

• 1 cup (125g) powdered sugar

• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder

• 1 tablespoon milk

For the Chocolate Coating:

• 1 ½ cups (250g) milk chocolate, melted

• 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable oil (for a smoother coating)

🍫 Instructions

Step 1: Make the Biscuits

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
3. In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until a dough forms.
5. Roll out the dough to about ¼-inch thickness and cut into small rectangles (about 2x5 cm).
6. Place the biscuits on the baking tray and bake for 10-12 minutes. Let them cool completely.

Step 2: Prepare the Chocolate Filling

1. In a bowl, beat the butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and milk until smooth.
2. Spread a generous amount of filling on one biscuit and top with another to make a sandwich. Repeat for all biscuits.

Step 3: Coat with Chocolate

1. Melt the milk chocolate and stir in the coconut oil for a smooth finish.
2. Dip each biscuit sandwich into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Use a fork to lift and place on a wire rack to set.
3. Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature or refrigerate for faster results.
