Tim Tam Cherry Tartlettes





Tim Tams....  irresistible and can't just stop at ONE!!! (anyone out there...doesn't like Tim Tams???)
Its rich but it is so... so good :), even better when Tim Tams are on "sale"...  less than $2 for a packet of 300g!!!

More than one packets would definitely find their way into my shopping trolley. And once home, I have to stashed these babes in my little storeroom... out of my son's sight... yes that growing up boy could finish them all in a day...only leaving traces and crumbs behind (sometimes...empty packet in the fridge grrrrr !!!!)

Tim Tam :D
Tim Tam Cherry Tartlettes

My initial plan was to bake Tim Tam with raspberry (from one of the food magazines), however the plan was derailed as I had to use my mascarpone cheese!!!
These tartlettes turned out great.

Before I end my post today... I have a question to ask, appreciate your sincere feedback :D
Which photos your prefer? the first photo or the one below?

Lastly I would like to wish my family, friends and readers (who celebrates)...

  2. I don't think I could choose between the photos. I think they're both great! And your tartlettes are so pretty.
    We don't have Tim Tams in Canada - I'm hoping my travels take me to Australia someday so I can try them.

  8. Those look awesome! I haven't ever tasted tim-tams though, but thanks to a well known searching machine I think I have an idea now how they might taste ;-). I would prefer the second photo - I think the styling is more balanced as well as the lines and the cherries look darker :)
