Count them on one hand! Just THREE ingredients is all you need to get rollin’ with these almost too-good-to-be-true Tim Tam balls.
Great for entertaining, handing out as small gifts or just a sneaky late night treat you don’t want to share with the kids, Tim Tam balls are SUPER easy to make!
Three ingredients is all you need to get cracking on these biscuit come cheesecake-like truffle treats. I used original Tim Tams (because #traditionalist) but to be honest I think these would be pretty darn delicious using any of the amazing Tim Tam flavours on the supermarket shelf.
Tim Tam balls recipe:
Ingredients:
1 packet Arnott’s Tim Tam biscuits
250g Cream Cheese, softened
290g cooking chocolate Melts (Milk, Dark, White – choose your favourite!)
Method:
- Using a Thermomix, food processor, blender or even just a rolling pin and some brute force – smash those Tim Tam biscuits into a fine crumb.
- Cut the cream cheese into cubes and add it to the Tim Tam crumbs. Mix thoroughly until you have a light brown, thick consistency. (At this point, depending on your kitchen temperature, the mixture might be too soft to roll into balls. Pop it in the fridge for a quick 15 minute cool down.)
- Using a teaspoon or a small ice cream scoop, roll teaspoon size balls of the mixture. Place the balls back in the fridge while you prepare the chocolate.
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave. Place the chocolate Melts in a microwave safe bowl and heat on high for 20 to 30 seconds, stir and repeat the process until chocolate has JUST melted. Keep stirring to melt any last few pieces!
- Using a fork (or piercing with a skewer), dip or roll the Tim Tam balls in the melted chocolate and return them to a baking paper lined tray. You can even add some sprinkles to the top if you want to be fancy. Return to the fridge to set completely.
Store in the fridge for up to a week – though we doubt they’ll last that long! Recipe yields around 25 balls.
