Howdy Food Tube, it's Barry here from My Virgin Kitchen. Now, if you're Australian you probably
refer to what we are making today as Tim Tams or if you're British, like myself, you might
call them penguins. But whatever you wanna call them, they taste amazing and there's
nothing better than making your own from home because you can make them any size you want, good times.
They look amazing right and it's a proper chocolate-fest going on; chocolate
cream wedged between two chocolate biscuits with chocolate over the top. If you wanna
have a go at making this hit pause on the video now. Write all these ings down, let's
do it. It's so easy, it's so much fun. Woooah, let's do it. So we'll start off with our cream
filling first. In a bowl beat together your butter, your cocoa powder, your Horlicks;
which is malted powder mixed with a little bit of icing sugar. Get that all nice and combined
then add a little bit of milk and melted chocolate for flavouring and all nice, good stuff like
that and then what you've gotta do is whack it into the fridge while we make our biscuits.
Ok, so we'll make our biscuits by grabbing another bowl and creaming together the butter
and our sugar until it's nice and smooth then follow it up with our plain flour, cocoa powder,
a little bit of baking powder, some milk and golden syrup. Now at first it won't come together
so you're gonna wanna mix it together with a spatula and eventually it will. You might
want to add a little bit of milk to help it along the way but do not flood it whatever
you do. We want this mixture kinda dry. Once you've got it there, slam it down on a chopping
board with some baking parchment underneath, put some extra baking parchment on top and
start to roll it out nice and thin. So now comes the real benefit to why we make these
from home; you can make them any size you want. Make sure your rectangles are even and
shove it, still on that baking parchment underneath, in the oven for a good ten minutes. Once it's
baked it might still be a little soft but let it cool down fully on a wire rack, it'll
firm up and then it's time to smear it together, yeah. Yeah, so once your biscuits have cooled
down what you want to do is grab your filling from the fridge, take one biscuit half and
spread it nice and thick evenly, sit another half on top. Press it down, you can use your
finger if you want and work it round, get it all nice and neat. Put that back in the
fridge while we melt our chocolate. Just to say if you're enjoying this video don't forget
to give it a thumbs up, share, subscribe to both My Virgin Kitchen and Jamie Oliver's
Food Tube channel. Cheers, let's finish this off. So what I did to melt the chocolate was
kind of giant food style. I had my saucepan, the simmering water melting the chocolate
in a bowl above. It was looking so good. I wanted to just motorboat it again, like that.
I wanted to motorboat the chocolate. But what you want to do then is grab one of your chilled
biscuits and just dunk the base, kind of thing like a rapper would say; dunk the base. Just
put that in there and sit it on a wire rack and it's time for the money shot. Yeah this
really is the money shot so while you watch this bit let me sing to you. My minds telling
me no, but my body, my body's telling me yes. Oh my gosh does that look good. So, with that
chocolate all coated on there, it's working its way around the grooves, Penguin/Tim Tam
style, get it in the fridge to firm up then it's time to eat it. Now just before we eat
it I wanna show you; this is the size of my phone and this is the big one we made. It's
actually bigger than my phone with the cover on it. And the cool thing again about making
homemade is you can customise the filling any way you like. My friend, Jenny Gordon
from Australia, is sending me some salted caramel Tim Tams so make a salted caramel
filling, maybe a marshmallow fluff. Let me know down below what you're putting in it.
There's something called a Tim Tam slam that I wanna try out right now, we're gonna do
a Tim Tam twerk. Ok, so a normal Tim Tam slam you bite off both ends of your Tim Tam and
suck it through this straw. Now my big one is too big for this mug so we're gonna do
a Tim Tam twerk with a mini one; a full dunk in there, ok. So we're gonna twerk, oh yeah
I'm sort of twerking, you don't have to see all that. We're gonna dunk it in there, oh
my goodness, whole coffee being soaked right in there. Oh my goodness. Oh spirit of Kylie
Minogue, those taste amazing. For a minute I was in a chocolate canoe with Kylie Minogue,
we were singing I Should Be So Lucky and I am so lucky because these taste amazing. Now
if you like homemade confectionary, the last video I did here on Food Tube was some homemade
Rolos. Some of you guys have been trying them out, you've been sending pictures on Twitter
and Instagram to Jamie's Food Tube and to myself at My Virgin Kitchen and it's great
to see that so hopefully you guys give these a go, we'd love to see how you get on. And
if you want to see me make something else, some sort of sweet/confectionary, let me know
down below. See you next time, good times. Thanks for watching this video Food Tubers.
