These Divine Tim Tam Truffles are a simple no-bake treat made with Tim Tam biscuits, condensed milk and coconut. They’re rich, chocolatey and easy to prepare with just a handful of ingredients.
The crushed Tim Tams and condensed milk create a soft truffle centre, while the coconut adds a lovely finishing texture. They’re ideal for sharing, gifting or making ahead for a special occasion.
I love it when an experiment comes off and in this case the results are delicious, simple and I have not in years had so many requests for a recipe as I have done for this one!
A grown-up Baileys Tim Tam truffle variation
I also now have a Baileys Tim Tam Truffle recipe. It is divine and so easy, but just for the grown ups!
What makes these Tim Tam truffles different?
For years friends have made Tim Tam Truffles with cream cheese. But I sometimes felt the cream cheese overpowered the taste of the Tim Tams. So I thought what is better than condensed milk in no bake slices, so I gave it a go. With a few tweaks and experiments I think I nailed it!
This recipe keeps the flavour of the Tim Tams but enhances it with a gorgeous sweetness, and of course everything is more fun when it is a truffle!!

An easy sweet treat for Christmas
Christmas is a time where everyone is looking for gorgeous sweet treats to share with family and friends so what better time than now to come up with some quick and simple treats.
How do you get the right consistency for Tim Tam truffles?
The secret is in getting the right consistency in the mixture before you begin to roll. You need it to be moist enough to come together but not too much so that it does not keep its shape once you roll them out.
The other great thing about this recipe is that they take no time at all to chill in the fridge. So they would be a perfect last-minute gift for friends and family.
They are best served at room temperature, but no one is going to turn down a chilled one!
Which Tim Tam flavours work best for truffles?
I used 4 different flavours of Tim Tams! I could have kept going as it appears the flavour variety has exploded over the past few years, but this gave a nice selection. I have had lots of comments on the white chocolate ones, but my favourite were the Choc Raspberry. Let me know in the comments below what your favourite is!
I made 4 different packets which made approximately 60 balls, however they are very moreish so if making for a crowd you may wish to over-cater!

This recipe did not work for us. Even put in fridge to see if would roll better. Added more condensed milk. Still not great.
justamumnz says
Oh no, I’m sorry to hear that. What was the ratio of Tim tams to condensed milk? One packet or approx 11 Tim Tams to 1/4 cup (plus tbsp) of condensed milk? Was it too dry or too wet to roll?
Con says
Just the best. Have put it in my special Christmas recipe book
Look forward to trying some other recipes of yours
Jo says
I have tried and loved so many of your recipes. I have a question, I live in .Canada, please what are Tim Tams? Really want to make the truffles and hope I can get something similar here.
justamumnz says
Have a quick google and see what they are if you have something similar, you can buy them online too ☺️
Amanda says
Hi Tim Tams are a unique Australian chocolate covered biscuit cookie. There are some places in the USA to buy them. Try googling or Amazon to locate the exact product near you, as there is no equivalent replacement. Same for using another brand of chocolate for dipping, you will lose the divine unique chocolate taste of the timtam. There is a thing we call the tim tam slam, bite the ends off the tim tam, dip into a hot chocolate or coffee and suck the fluid up through the tim tam and gobble it up. buy extras as youll nibble up alot before the production of the timtam balls!!
Rachael Sexton says
How long can you keep these in the fridge with the condensed milk in the recipe. thanks
Michelle says
Can I add bailey’s, and if so at what stage.
Sheryl Bates says
Love these, thank you! Different flavour Tim Tams come in different size packs so you need to adjust the amount of condensed milk accordingly. Original ones have 11 biscuits (200g), but Chewy Caramel only have 9 biscuits (175g). I wondered why mine ended up too soft until I realised!
Tracey says
Could you dip them in melted chocolate once rolled or would they be too rich?
justamumnz says
Yes you absolutely could and yes they would be lovely and rich! See my mint truffle recipe for ideas on dipping in chocolate – https://justamumnz.com/2016/11/09/chocolate-mint-truffles/
Kathy says
Far too sweet I made a load of them different flavors condensed milk one’s
sickly nd terribly sweet..Wouldn’t do the date and also condensed one’s again..
justamumnz says
Sorry to hear you didn’t like them, they are normally incredibly popular. And definitely yes a sweet treat being made of Tim tams and condensed milk.
Tan Miller says
Any tips for making without a food processor? Thank you!
justamumnz says
You can but it may be tricky as the biscuits are a bit sticky depending on what sort you use. But you can pop the biscuits in a large zip lock bag and remove the air and crush them in the bag with a rolling pin. Then once they are finely crushed add them to a bowl and mix well with the condensed milk.
Amanda Maher says
So you don’t use a full tin to a pkt tim Tam’s
justamumnz says
No, you only use around a 1/4 cup – so can use up to 4 packets of tim tams to a whole can.
Corina Smith says
I am about to make them for Xmas…how long will they keep in the fridge and can i freeze them. Thx.
justamumnz says
They keep for up to a week on the fridge and yes you can freeze them.
Marlene says

Marlene says
I absolutely love the White Chocolate TIm Tams!
I love dipping them in a hot cup of chocolate.
Rosa says
Ooh, I love the cream cheese tang but these look so good too…
I have done the cream cheese versions as Christmas gifts, on skewers, dipped in chocolate and made into bouquets, they were definitely a hit. My all-time favourite gift food is rocky road, though. Always a winner taste-wise and so easy to throw together!
justamumnz says
What a great idea Rosa! The bouquets would be gorgeous. Rocky Road is fabulous and on my list to make next week! Have you seen my Christmas Version? https://justamumnz.com/2014/12/12/rocky-road-christmas-pudding/ Thanks so much for stopping by ?
justamumnz says
Love it!! Will share it on FB this week as such a great idea ?
Rosa says
Aw shucks, thanks! 😀
Mum says
sounds yum xx
justamumnz says
Thank you!!! They were a hit xox
Marisa Coles says
Hi, How do you account for the different weight of some of the newer flavoured Tim Tams which are generally lighter (they seem to vary from 160g to 200g)? Did you use the 1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp condensed milk with the bigger pack or the smaller packs please?
