Now that I have a copy in my kitchen, I’m even more blown away than I expected to be. Like any true fan girl, I sent her an email at one point (in blog years, it was a century ago) telling her just how much I admire her work and I’ve been lucky enough to call her a friend ever since.Īs you can imagine, I was incredibly excited when she announced last April that she was publishing a cookbook! I knew right away that it would be, in no other words, epic. Sarah’s incredible eye for design, graphics, and photography drew me in years and years ago and ever since, I’ve been absolutely hooked. If you’ve been following my blog for some time or have read a handful of my Sunday Thymes posts, you know that I am a huge fan of Sarah’s blog and recipes! She makes some of the most creative, decadent, and playful sweets out there. I am incredibly excited about two things today! These homemade Tim Tam cookies (which are beyond ridiculous ) and my friend Sarah’s new cookbook The Sugar Hit!. I’m going to tell you about both of them. Chocolate cookies filled with malted chocolate buttercream and dipped in milk chocolate! For most of us, this is one of the greatest pleasures in life.
The milk chocolate used to cover the cookie must be a very good quality chocolate with good fluidity.ĭifficult to find someone who doesn’t like chocolate. The list of ingredients is simple and easy to find.įor those who don’t have the skill or the patience to cut specific rectangles, don’t hesitate to use a ruler or even a cookie cutter. It’s a straightforward recipe with cookie dough that can be made rather quickly. Some would say that the homemade version is significantly tastier than the packaged Australian version. It is not always easy to find Tim Tam all over the world, but it is easy to prepare this 100% chocolate temptation at home. This drink is very widespread in Australia but also in New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, India, the Philippines, Syria, Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, and Colombia.
Most Australians like Tim Tam with a drink called Milo, which is a chocolate drink made from a chocolate and malted powder, marketed by Nestlé. As the cookie softens, the coating begins to crumble. The diagonally opposite corners of the cookie are eaten, one of them is dipped into the drink, and the drink is sipped through the cookie. Tim Tam Slam, also known as Tim Tam Shotgun or Tim Tam Suck, is a game where the biscuit becomes a straw to drink a hot or cold beverage of your choice. Here’s another way to enjoy a Tim Tam that Australians consider a game. The Sydney Huntingwood plant produces 3,000 cookies per minute, using approximately 20 tons of different creams and 27 tons of chocolate per day. In one Australian household out of two, there is always at least one pack of 9 biscuits. Today, Australians consume more than 45 million packets of Tim Tam per day and each packet consists of 9 cookies. In its homeland, Australia, more than 670 million of the popular chocolate biscuits are made each year. An Arnott spokesperson observed that a customer would have to consume their own weight of cookies every hour to reach a blood alcohol level of 0.05 g. The Australian Drug Foundation suggested that selling cookies in supermarkets was “potentially dangerous” to minors. In 2004, Arnott’s sparked controversy over the release of an alcohol-flavored line of some of their products, including the Tia Maria Tim Tam.
In Australia, Tim Tam packs of different colors appeared on the shelves: double coating: dark chocolate / white chocolate, caramel, peanut butter, chocolate and orange, coconut, red velvet, salted butter caramel, raspberry and white chocolate, chocolate brownie, black forest, salted caramel and vanilla, coconut and lychee, or chocolate and mint. Since the 2000s, Arnott’s has introduced several varieties of classic milk chocolate cookies to the market. This chocolate cookie entered the market in 1964. Yes, a horse called Tim Tam crossed the finish line first. In 1858 Ross Arnott, a spectator at the famous Kentucky Derby horse race, decided that his company’s new cookies would be named after the winning horse.
During his stay in Britain, he discovered a very popular English cookie called Penguin over there and decided to “create a better one.” In 1958, Ian Norris went around the world in search of inspiration for new products. Tim Tam was created by Ian Norris, then Director of Food Technology at Arnott’s Biscuits Limited, Australia’s largest cookie producer and the second largest snack supplier.
