    Description

    These easy Tim Tam balls are amazing. They’re quick to make, perfect for birthday parties, and always a favourite amongst children and adults alike. With less than 5 ingredients and only a few minutes of prep time, it’s the perfect easy party dessert. 


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 regular packet Tim Tams (200g)
    • ¼ - ½ of a 395g can sweetened condensed milk
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ¼ cup desiccated coconut

    Instructions

    1. Blend: Pulse Tim Tams in a food processor until the texture resembles sand. 
    2. Add: Transfer crushed Tim Tams to a large bowl. Starting with a small amount, gradually add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla to the crumbs, mixing as you go. Take care not to add too much condensed milk to avoid a sloppy mix. You want all of the crumbs to be wet, but the mixture should be dry enough that it you can scoop it up into a ball. You won't need to use more than ½ the can.
    3. Chill: Cover the bowl with aluminium foil and transfer to the fridge. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight to make the mix easier to roll.
    4. Roll:  Scoop up a Tablespoon-sized amount of mix, rolling it between your hands to create a ball.
    5. Coat: Pour the desiccated coconut onto a plate. Roll the ball in the coconut until fully coated. 
    6. Store: Store in the fridge so that the balls stay firm, and enjoy! 

    Notes

    • Storage: The Tim Tam balls will stay fresh for about 1 week when stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
    • Vegan option: To make these vegan, use a vegan Tim Tam alternative and vegan condensed coconut milk. 
    • Gluten free option: To make these gluten free, use a gluten free Tim Tam alternative 
    • Added alcohol: If you want to make these boozy, add 1 Tablespoon of Baileys or Kahlua to the mix, noting that you'll likely need less condensed milk in this case. 
    • Using Thermomix: To make these in the Thermomix, skip steps 1 and 2. Instead, add all the ingredients to the mixing bowl. and mix on speed 8 for a few seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix again. Repeat as needed.
    • Prep Time: 5 minutes
