It doesn’t get any more Australian than this Microwave Tim Tam & Milo Fudge. Two iconic Australian ingredients in one super easy fudge!
With Australia Day just around the corner, I thought I better make a super Australian recipe! Hehe well actually if I’m telling the truth, I just wanted an excuse to make fudge… but this is a great excuse, right?!!
I discovered the joys of microwave fudge about a year ago and haven’t looked back. I used to always muck around making my fudge with glucose syrup – and while you get a fantastic fudge as a result, it’s a fair pain in the bum! And so, when I started making fudge in the microwave with just condensed milk and chocolate, I knew I could never, ever go back to the old way.
This Microwave Tim Tam & Milo Fudge takes less than 5 minutes to prepare. Simply melt a tin of condensed milk and chocolate melts in the microwave, stir through a packet of chopped Tim Tams and 1/2 cup of Milo (or any malted milk powder). Pour into a prepared tin and smooth down the top with a spoon. Pop it into the fridge to set (preferably while you kick back, pour yourself a cuppa and congratulate yourself on making a delicious fudge in only a couple of minutes). Yum!
You can use any variety of Tim Tams that you like. For this recipe, I just went with the plain and simple classic version. You’ll notice that the heat from the fudge will melt some of the chocolate off the biscuits, but don’t worry – you’ll still have chunks of biscuit that remain.
So tell me – what’s your favourite iconic Australian food? Milo & Tim Tams are definitely up there for me! Ooh and lamingtons – you can’t forget lamingtons!!

I just made this for a work function and it was more the well received!!!
It really is super easy. Don’t think I will go back to the traditional way of making fudge.
Thank you so much for sharing 🙂
Fantastic! I’m so happy you enjoyed it (and yes you’re right – it’s so easy!). xx
I made these last week and they were a huge hit!! Couldn’t stop eating them. Do you think i could use white tim tams and white melts and still use the milo??
Oh my gosh yes!!! I’m going to have to try that too!!!
Do you make the milk with milk and water or is it just the milk powder you use?
Hi Georgia, I’m sorry I’m not sure exactly what you mean? Are you referring to the sweetened condensed milk? If so, you buy it in a can at the supermarket (it’s very sticky and sweet).
What an awesome recipe! Is the half a cup of milo just the milo powder or is that in liquid form?
Hi Sophie, it’s the milo powder xx
Do these have to be stored in the fridge ?
If you live in a cold climate then you can store them at room temperature (but if it’s warm, it will go very sticky!).
