I saw this recipe in a few places so decided to try it for my little boy's first birthday party. Well, I've since decided that Cake/Tim-Tam Pops are not for me! I think they look amazing when done well, but they're just too fiddly for me and involve too many steps. I wanted to share the recipe anyway because so many people at the party commented how much they loved them (even though I wasn't too happy with them!) I struggled to get the right consistency, so there was a bit of refrigerating and re-rolling involved, then my chocolate wasn't melting properly so I was lucky to get any out on the party table! Anyway, they tasted yummy and you could always experiment with different flavours of tim-tams.
Ingredients
200g packet of tim-tams
100g cream cheese
lollipop sticks
200g candy melts/melting chocolate
decorations, if desired (I used fondant stars)
Method
Crush tim-tams in a food processor. Add cream cheese and blend until well combine.
Roll tablespoon-sized balls of mixture on a tray covered with baking paper. Place in the fridge for about an hour. Remove and push lollipop sticks into the balls.
Melt chocolate in the microwave or over a saucepan of simmering water. Dip the balls into chocolate, spin around to remove excess. Either lie on baking paper or push into styrofoam to decorate.
