    3 Ingredient Tim Tam Balls

    Our famous chocolate balls are made with just 3 ingredients:

    • Tim Tams (a chocolate coated biscuit made by Arnott's) - see recipe notes below
    • Sweetened condensed milk
    • Milo (or any malted milk powder), cocoa powder or coconut (to roll the balls in)

    Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

    More Tim Tam Ball Recipes

    Tim Tam Balls are made using either sweetened condensed milk or cream cheese. 

    Sweetened condensed milk balls last longer than those made with cream cheese (1 week compared to 3-4 days) and are easier/cheaper to make. 

    Cream cheese balls are a much more decadent and creamy dessert. They do however, need to be dipped in melted chocolate to hold their shape.

    Our Chocolate Balls are such a classic favourite... but our white chocolate version are just as delicious!

     

    Cream Cheese Ball Recipes

    For a richer-flavoured dessert, you can't beat a batch of  made with cream cheese. Here's a few of my favourite recipes:

    • White Chocolate Peppermint Crisp Balls
    • Baileys Tim Tam Cheesecake Balls
    • Caramel Balls
    • Mint Slice Balls
    • Kahlua Cheesecake Balls
    • Salted Caramel Cheesecake Balls

    • Milo, cocoa or desiccated coconut to roll in

    • Pour the mixture into a bowl and place into the fridge to firm up (approx 30 minutes). 
    • Roll into balls and coat with Milo, desiccated coconut or cocoa.

    Notes

    RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
    Tim Tams are a chocolate coated biscuit made by Arnott’s. They are similar to Penguin biscuits in the UK.
    Milo (or any malted milk powder), cocoa powder or coconut  can be used to roll the balls in.
    If your mixture is too dry and crumbly, add a tiny bit of extra sweetened condensed milk and mix again. 
    The mixture will need to be refrigerated for 30 minutes before rolling into balls in order to allow it to firm up. 
    This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled. 
    Store Tim Tam Balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Alternatively, they can be frozen for up to 3 months.
