Hello and welcome to FridgeCam.
If you eat food, then this is the show for you.
In the Fridge today it’s all about Tim Tam’s.
If you don’t know what they are, stick with us.
And we’re going to show you, a bunch of, well,
weird things to do with them.
Yes, one of them including a Tim Tam kinder Slammer.
Ohh!
But first,
we are so so sorry.
Hello. I’m Ben,
and welcome to my shop.
We lick lollies and munch balls, and eat candy that pops.
Eat as much as you like because nobody's counting.
And if we have time, I’ll get out my Sherbet fountain.
Today we’re recreating Tim Tams an Australian treat.
We need chocolate biscuits,
sandwiching chocolate cream
and the whole thing enrobed in milk chocolate.
First up, the biscuits.
A bit of softened butter, and caster sugar in a bowl,
with a couple of egg yolks
and a drop of vanilla extract.
Then sift in flour and cocoa,
and bring it together into a dough.
The dough will need to chill.
With a chilled dough, we need to roll it out
between two sheets of grease proof paper
to the thickness of a couple of mil.
Peel back the paper and what’s left
cut into rectangles
that are perfect Tim Tam size.
These need baking at 10 degrees Celsius until they’re cooked,
it’s about ten minutes.
Keep an eye on them.
With your biscuits baked, but still warm
just trim them back to size.
While our biscuits cool, we’ll make a chocolate cream filling.
That’s beating together softened butter,
icing sugar,
cocoa powder and malt powder.
Next we’re going to take two cooled chocolate biscuits
and sandwich them with our chocolate cream.
Next, we’re going to cover them in chocolate.
That needs tempered chocolate,
so take your milk chocolate out to a temperature of 46 degrees,
cool it back down to 26 and back up to 30.
And there we go.
Homemade Tim Tam’s, sorted.
Great job Ben.
But if you don’t want to make Tim Tam’s from scratch
here are two amazing Tim Tam recipes
using original Tim Tams.
Here we have the Tim Tam,
an Australian delicacy.
We’re going to make it even better than it already is.
We’re sticking a cheese cake inside of it
and creating a Cheesecake Tim Tam sandwich.
Let’s start with the cheesecake filling.
Get your double cream into a bowl
and whisk it up until there are soft peaks.
Then add your icing sugar, your malt powder,
your cream cheese and some melted chocolate,
and whisk that back up to slightly stiffer peaks.
Now we have to turn our Tim Tams into sandwiches
so try to break them in half.
Yeah!
And with your filling, now be generous.
Now you could call it a day there
because they do look pretty damn good.
But we’re feeling fancy,
so we’re going to finish them off with some white chocolate.
A little squiggle on top.
See, fancy aren’t they?
And that is a Tim Tam Cheesecake Sandwich,
Sorted.
This is a Tim Tam.
And this is a [lamington]
Two of the greatest thing to come out of Australia
since Toad Fish off of neighbors.
So what I propose today is that we take a Tim Tam
and put it inside a Lamington to create
a Lamin Tim Tam, or a Tim Tamington.
Call it you want you want, it’s awesome.
So it starts with a Lamington cake batter.
So that’s butter and sugar beaten together in a bowl
until it’s light and fluffy.
Light and fluffy,
now I’m going to crack in one egg at a time while’s beating.
That’s the end of that instruction.
Make sure the mixture is all combined
before you add the next egg.
Next a drop of vanilla extract,
then in with the flour
and once that’s all combined add the milk.
And now we need to transfer this cake batter
into our bar sized baking tins,
which have been lined with baking paper.
Top tip, if you’re a nincompoop like me,
transfer that batter into a container
with a nozzle so you won’t spill it all over the place.
So you want to fill these about
three quarter of the way up.
And now for the good bit,
we’re going to take a Tim Tam,
and we’re going to push it down into the batter,
so that all the sides are submerged,
but the top is exposed.
Do that for each of the tin
and go back and with a spoon,
smooth the batter over the top of the exposed top
and then check it in an oven
at 180 degrees for 20 minutes.
Once your Tim Tamingtons have come out of the oven,
let them cool on a wire rack
and now it’s time
to cut them into perfect squares,
rectangles, perfect rectangles.
Cube boids.
Perfect cube boids.
Start with your crappies one first.
So if you nooz it up it’s not really a problem.
Yes!
Now they’re all cut up
it’s time to make a chocolate icing.
Icing sugar, coco powder,
and butter into a bowl.
Give that a mix up until it’s all combined
and then add some hot water.
Okay that’s all nicely combined and smooth,
look at that.
And now for the messy bit,
we’re going to take our Tim Tamingtons,
dip them into the chocolate icing,
then with two forks,
delicately lift them out into an other bowl
for the desiccated coconut.
Make sure the Tim Tamingtons are completely covered in the coconut
and then put them on a lovely board
for presentational purposes.
There’s you go, Australia thank you,
but you're also welcome
even if it did take a Pom to put these two amazing things together.
They look amazing, but don’t take my word for it.
We need to put everything that we made today
into the sexies.
Let’s put the Tim Tam slammies into our faces.
Going for the originals first?
Oh! They’re really gooey in the middle.
MOh wow.
They’re delicious.
I think, Slam it.
Light isn’t it?
Great snack with a coffee.
Dessert, afternoon tea?
Tim Tamingtons.
Tim Tamingtons, I like.
I think I know Tim Tamingtons
is he the one with the blonde hair?
Tell me it’s delicious.
It’s delicious.
Ben has been waiting all day to show us a magic trick.
Ready?
How has he done that.
After all that Tim Tam fun,
I don’t think we have time for the share the fountain.
Thank goodness for that.
I almost forgot about your Sherbet fountain
and now I’m imagining it again.
Two things, firstly sorry.
That got a bit weird.
Yes. And secondly if you’d like any of those recipes
then you can find them on our website
And make sure you subscribe because....
yeah... we’re going to make you hungry.
Barry, Taylor, I think that FridgeCam had everything.
It did!
It had Tim Tam’s and cheesecake.
And Tim Tams in a Lamington.
And it had an absolute Wonka.
And now it’s time
to go have teaky La Tim Tam Slammers.
Yeah, this is going to be rough.
Stick with this and you can see this.
Otherwise we’ll see you in a couple of days.
If you’ve heard of a Tim Tam,
the chances are you’ve heard of a Tim Tam Slam.
We’re going to show you exactly how to do one,
plus three drinks to slam with
as suggested by you.
Step one, how to Tim Tam Slam.
