HOW TO DO A perfect TIM TAM slam

I come from a long line of biscuit dunkers.

My father dunked as well as his father before him. however the Tim Tam slam is the extremely pinnacle of dunking excellence.

Dunking is a extremely skilled process. It needs poise, confidence, a deep understanding of your medium. A failure on any type of of these fronts will end in your biscuit dropping into your tea. Dunking’s tough – however it’s worth it!

The strategy needed to pull off the perfect slam is more complex than any type of biscuit dunk understood to man… however very first things first.

A Tim Tam – for you bad devils who haven’t tried one – is a chocolate biscuit with a creamy filling as well as covered in a layer of choc.

The UK’s humble McVitie’s Penguin is where Tim Tams originate from, however like humans as well as the apes, Tim Tams have evolved to be an completely more advanced creature.

A Tim Tam slam occurs when you ‘drink’ a hot beverage with the Tim Tam like a straw. The hot liquid fills the biscuit, melting everything inside. You’re entrusted to a chocolate bag of melty genius.

The Tim Tam Slam

Here’s what you need:

A hot drink – tea, coffee, hot choc, mocca, chai… you get the idea.

A pack of Tim Tams.

Incisor teeth – 1 set of.

Here’s what you do:

Bite the corner off your Tim Tam.

Turn the Tim Tam as well as bite the diagonally opposite corner off.

Hold the Tim Tam like a straw as well as dip the end in your drink.

Suck your drink with the Tim Tam up until a few of your tasty beverage is in your mouth.

Carefully however quickly eat your biscuit.

Settle into a bed of pillows half-cut as well as enjoy the rush of enjoyment as your mouth experiences tastebud nirvana.

Areas of danger:

Don’t hold your Tim Tam in the drink as well long or it will collapse as well as vanish into your tea. This is a horrible feeling, as well as – to be honest – an amateur mistake.

Don’t take as well long to eat your Tim Tam either. To hold it up as well as admire it is to beckon on a bickie apocalypse. As it is written, so the Tim Tam shall rise, so it shall fall. right into your lap. extremely messy.

Biting the biscuit in half can likewise turn into choc-tastrophy. The insides are so soft as well as squishy, the whole thing will autumn apart. Popping the whole thing in your mouth truly is your finest bet.

Which flavour to choose:

This is where things get personal. I enjoy the surety the Tim Tam original affords. Mrs Romance, however, lives a life of opulence as well as indulgence, as well as so enjoys a Choc double coat Tim Tam to slam. She states the double chocolate finish provides the biscuit more structure so it doesn’t collapse as easily. It’s the thinnest veiled ruse I’ve ever heard of.

There are so many flavours to select from right here in Australia, we truly are spoilt. The UK as well as Canada have a restricted variety to enjoy.

But recently, the game altered again! Famed patissier Adriano Zumbo has worked together with Arnott’s to draw out three new incredible flavours. The Raspberry White Choc, the Salted Caramel as well as the Choc Brownie all hit stores 3rd March 2014 as well as the slam nation will be in its element!

In truth these new flavours have brought Mrs romance as well as me better together: we both like the Salted Caramel be it to slam or otherwise.

What is your favourite Tim Tam flavour? Or do you have a personal favourite bickie to dunk?
