Tim Tams. Are they available in lots of other countries other than Australia? You’re missing out if they’re not! Tim Tams have gotten me through many a break-up and Swotvac week in my teens and 20s and I’ll always be fond of them. There are all sorts of fancy flavours these days but my favourite is the original chocolate. That said, caramel Tim Tams were on sale at Woolies so I had to use those for my epic Easter cheesecake.
I’ve made a Tim Tam baked cheesecake before, although not posted on here; the top cracked and it looked sort of hideous but was so amazingly sweet and delicious I thought I’d give it another go, but instead made it a classic no-bake affair to makes things simpler. You can use low fat cream and cream cheese in this obvs, but really, what would be the point? It’s so delicious and fattening, you may as well enjoy it
And enjoy it you will. An almost pure chocolate base, creamy, velvety filling with crunchy bits of caramel and chocolate biscuits throughout (you can really taste the Tim Tams). Oh, and I did a fancy cheffy thing and made crunchy toffee shards for the top – they were really easy and look fabulous although I overcooked mine a bit as you can see.
I really hope somebody makes this for Easter because I don’t think it’ll disappoint!
