Nutty Tim Tams

😋 Craving something sweet… but want it to feel a little more wholesome? These Nutty Tim Tams are a homemade twist you’ll want to make again and again: cocoa cookies made with walnut flour (naturally bringing plant-based protein and fiber), a smooth cocoa-date filling, and a dark chocolate coat finished with a crunchy sprinkle of nuts.

Crisp, rich, and just fancy enough for guests — but easy enough for a weeknight craving.

Method

    • Roast the nuts in the oven for 10 minutes and then grind them.

    • Cover the dates with hot water for 20 minutes to rehydrate, then process them into a paste.

    • For the cookies: Beat vegan butter and date paste in a mixer until creamy. Add oil and beat until pale.

    • Add cocoa powder, wheat flour, walnut flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix on low speed until a smooth dough forms.

    • Roll the dough between parchment paper into a 5 mm rectangle. Freeze for 20 minutes.

    • Cut into 3.5 x 8 cm rectangles. Bake at 180°C (356°F) for 8 minutes. Cool completely.

    • For the filling: Beat vegan butter, date paste, cocoa powder, cashews, and hazelnuts until smooth.

    • Pipe the filling onto each cookie, sandwich them, and repeat.

    • For the coating: Melt chocolate with coconut oil.

    • Dip each cookie in chocolate, drain excess, and decorate with chopped nuts. Place on parchment-lined tray.

    • Refrigerate until the chocolate hardens.

Tips

If the dough softens during cutting, chill it again to prevent spreading and misshaping during baking. Using a stand mixer speeds up the process and ensures a smoother mixture. ❄️
