Chilled Aussie-inspired Tim Tam treats - refrigerate for a cool indulgence.
Ingredients:
  • 437.50 ml plain flour
  • 135.00 gm brown sugar
  • 32.50 gm Cocoa Powder
  • 180g butter, chilled, chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 30.90 gm milk
  • 250g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 112.50 gm icing sugar mixture
  • 2.20 gm vanilla extract
  • 220g milk chocolate, chopped
Instructions:
  • In a food processor, pulse flour, sugar, cocoa, and 125g butter until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add egg and milk. Pulse until dough forms. Transfer dough to a floured surface, knead until smooth. Divide and shape into 2 discs. Wrap in plastic, refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan-forced and line 2 large baking trays with baking paper. Roll out 1 disc of dough between 2 sheets of baking paper until 5mm thick. Use a 4cm-square cookie cutter to cut out squares. If the dough gets too soft, refrigerate until firm. Arrange the squares 2cm apart on the trays. Repeat the process with the remaining dough disc to make 50 squares in total. Refrigerate for 10 minutes or until firm before baking.
  • Bake each tray of biscuits for 7 to 8 minutes. Allow them to rest on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Put 50g dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave on MEDIUM for 1 minute, stirring halfway with a metal spoon until smooth. Let cool for 10 minutes. Using an electric mixer, whip icing sugar and the remaining butter until fluffy. Add vanilla and melted chocolate. Mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing. Spread 1 ½ teaspoons of the chocolate mixture between the biscuits to make sandwiches. Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes before serving.
  • Combine milk chocolate and the rest of the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on MEDIUM (50%) for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds with a metal spoon until smooth. Place the bowl on a wire rack over a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Dip each biscuit in the chocolate mixture to coat the sides, then drizzle 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate over each biscuit. Let it sit for 1 hour or until set. Serve and enjoy!
