Possibly one of the most wicked brownies in existence. The Tim Tam brownie.
What exactly is a tim tam? You may wonder what this chocolate coated goodness is that I speak of.
Tim Tams are possibly one of the most wicked things that finds its way into my pantry. Trust me, a packet of those babies doesn't stay there long. They're compiled of two layers of chocolate biscuit wedged with a chocolate cream and then coated, or double coated in an outer layer of chocolate. Add brownie to that mix and you're in for a death by chocolate treat.
Moist chocolate brownie, chocolate, chocolate malt biscuit, light chocolate cream, chocolate malt biscuit, chocolate, and moist chocolate brownie again.
Add some ice cream for a quick dessert!
But wait, it gets better. Tim Tams come in all different flavours, as well as white, dark, milk and double coated varieties. Find yourself trying to decide between choc mint tim tams, caramel, rum and raisin, cookies and cream, black forest, (and the list goes on). It's a near impossible task to decide! So mix it up and make your choice of flavoured Tim tam Brownie! You wont regret it (but your waistline might)
TIM TAM BROWNIE
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup plain flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 packet tim tam biscuits
Preheat your oven to 190C.
Melt butter and remove from heat. Stir through the cocoa and brown sugar until combined.
Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Next, blend in the flour and salt. Spoon a thin layer of batter into a lined dish. Arrange the tim tam biscuits on the top of this batter as desire. Cover the biscuits with the remainder of the mixture and smooth the top. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove, and when cooled, cut into squares serve with ice cream.
OTHER WAYS TO ENJOY YOUR TIM TAMS:
1.Bite the ends off, and drink your coffee through its deliciousness.
2.Crush up tim tams finely and add enough cream cheese to be able to form balls. Coat in chocolate for decadent truffles.
3. Roughly break up tim tams and swirl through softened vanilla ice cream; refreeze. Tim tam Ice Cream? Yes please!
I absolutely adore TimTams, sadly I cannot get them here in Switzerland :(
ReplyDeletethat's a real shame anonymous! they certainly are an awesome biscuit. Maybe I should start an online store ;)
Deleteagain awesome..!!!! will ahve to check for tim tams here in dubai.. i have never had it.. so curious too after reading your description!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't think they would be there...that means you need to come to Australia!!!!
DeleteThis is great! We just move to Australia from the States and I was looking for gifts to send back to friends, but wasn't sure if the Tim Tams would survive the heat/air travel - I think I'll make them a batch of these!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds amazing, what size tin did you use to cook them?
ReplyDeleteit was a 20cmx20cm baking dish.
DeleteThanks, will be making these very soon!
DeleteI gained 10kgs reading this.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love Tim Tams. First had them when visiting Sydney, and am so happy that we are able to get them here in South Africa. Going to try the Tim Tam Brownie recipe this week. Can't wait!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG, I hate you! I Love you! I hate you!
ReplyDeleteTim Tams are awesome! We order a ton of them for our Company Store every fall for the holiday season and store them in our storage freezer until we can order them again.
ReplyDeletewhat a fabulous idea! thanks for dropping by and commenting:)
DeleteThanks for the recipe ... I made the brownies and took them to a dinner party last night. Very easy and very yummy! Cheers, Karin in Canberra
ReplyDeleteso glad you enjoyed them Karin, its good to hear feedback! cheers!
DeleteI made these and they were good... but the tim tams were still quite crunchy, I kinda expected them to be a lot more 'mushy'
ReplyDeleteif you want the biscuits to be "mushy", you'd have to cut off the ends and soak them quickly in something like milk before putting them into the batter. thanks for dropping by!
DeleteMade these today
ReplyDeleteGood and easy

Oh gosh. This is scary. I just made 2 batches and they are gone! Scary thing is ... I live alone.
