TIM TAMS TARTS

Let’s get back to the kitchen!

Tim Tams are definitely the most loved chocolate biscuits in Australia.  They were invented by an Australian man named Ian Morris and were named after a horse by the same name which won the 1958 Kentucky Derby.

Ingredients

• 200g packet Tim Tams, original
• 30g unsalted butter, melted, cooled
• 200ml cream
• 200g dark chocolate, chopped
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 egg yolks
• Raspberries, cocoa,  to serve

Method

• Grease four 8cm loose-bottomed tart pans.
• Place the Tim Tams in a food processor and whiz to fine crumbs.  Remove 3 tbs of the crumbs for the soil and set aside.
• Add melted butter to the processor and pulse to combine.
• Press the crumb mixture into the bases and sides of the prepared pans and chill for 15 minutes to firm up.
• Preheat the oven to 160C.
• Place the cream in a pan over a low heat and bring to just below boiling point.
• Add the chocolate and stand for 1 minute to melt a little, then stir until smooth.
• Cool the chocolate mixture, then add the vanilla and egg yolks and stir to combine.
• Pour the chocolate filling into the tart cases.

• Bake for 15 minutes or until just set.
• Cool the tarts completely in their pans.
• When ready to serve, remove the tarts from the pans, and then top them with berries and dust with cocoa and Tim Tams soil.

Tips

• The tarts could be made in smaller moulds or you can also make a big tart.
• Serve the tarts with vanilla ice cream if you want to.
