Ingredients

Here’s everything you’ll need to make this irresistible No-Bake Tim Tam Slice:

• Tim Tams: These iconic Australian biscuits are the star of the show. If you’re outside Australia, you can use a similar chocolate biscuit as a substitute.
• Sweetened Condensed Milk: This will bind everything together while adding a creamy, sweet flavor.
• Butter: For richness and to help the ingredients come together perfectly.
• Dark Chocolate: For the glossy, melt-in-your-mouth coating on top.
• Coconut: A bit of shredded coconut gives the slice a nice texture and adds to the tropical flavor.

(Note: Exact measurements are provided in the recipe card below.)

Instructions

Let’s get started and make this irresistible slice!

Step 1: Prepare the Tim Tam Base

Break the Tim Tams into small pieces (or use a food processor for a finer crumb) and place them in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, melt the butter, then mix in the sweetened condensed milk until fully combined. Pour this mixture over the Tim Tams and stir until everything is well coated and sticky.

Step 2: Add Coconut

Add in the shredded coconut and mix it through. The coconut will add texture and a slight nuttiness that complements the chocolate perfectly.

Step 3: Press the Mixture into a Tin

Line a small baking tin or dish with parchment paper. Press the Tim Tam and coconut mixture into the tin, making sure it’s evenly spread and compact. Once it’s all flattened down, pop the tin in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes to set slightly.

Step 4: Melt the Chocolate

While the base is chilling, melt your dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth. You can also melt it over a double boiler if you prefer.

Step 5: Coat the Slice with Chocolate

Once the base has firmed up, pour the melted chocolate over the top and spread it evenly to cover the entire slice. You can tilt the tin to ensure the chocolate coats every corner.

Step 6: Chill Again

Return the slice to the fridge and let it chill for at least an hour, or until the chocolate has set and hardened. The longer it chills, the better the texture will be!

Step 7: Slice and Serve

Once the chocolate has set, remove the slice from the fridge. Use a sharp knife to cut it into squares or bars. Serve and enjoy!
