Directions
Begin by crushing the Tim Tams until you have a crummy mixture. I recommend using a food processor for this task; however, if you don’t have one, placing the biscuits in a zip lock bag and smashing them with a rolling pin does the trick. But keep some bite-size chunks for texture.
Shift your crushed Tim Tams into a large bowl. Pour in the sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and desiccated coconut. Gently and thoroughly mix until you achieve a consistent chocolaty concoction.
Now comes the best part! Roll your mixture into small, bite-sized balls. This process can be a bit sticky, so wetting your hands before rolling is a neat trick that works wonders.
To add that final festive flair, roll these balls into your Christmas themed sprinkles. Ensure they get a nice, even coating.
Place your freshly rolled Tim Tam balls onto a lined tray. Once finished, allow them to chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours. This will help them to firm up and maintain their perfect ball shape.
Serve chilled for the optimal taste of festive decadence. Remember, they're best enjoyed shared among loved ones over Christmas holiday cheer.
