I’m just going to come out and say it right at the beginning, this Tim Tam Hedgehog Slice is quite possibly one of the most indulgent recipes I’ve ever made!

Tim Tam Hedgehog Slice

Hedgehog Slice is one of my favourite slice recipes simply because it reminds me of attending birthday parties when I was a kid – yep a random memory I know!  While I LOVE my Hedgehog Slice recipe, as you know I can never resist trying something new and was keen to see how adding Tim Tams to the mixture would turn out.

Tim Tam Hedgehog Slice

I guess I should have realised that you really can’t go wrong when you add Tim Tams to anything, after all even if it turned out to be a big gloopy mess, it was still going to taste pretty amazing!  It took so much self control to just try one small piece of this slice (for research purposes of course!) and it took even more self control to make sure all of the Tim Tams ended up in the recipe, especially since I used TWO packs – as you can see the boys didn’t have as much self control as me!

Tim Tam Hedgehog Slice

This slice is everything a special dessert or treat should be: rich, indulgent and full of chocolate.  Because you can never have enough Tim Tams, I used 1 1/2 packs in the slice itself and then roughly chopped the remaining six Tim Tams to sprinkle over the top of the slice to make sure you get plenty of Tim Tams with every single bite of this slice.

When making this Tim Tam Hedgehog Slice, make sure that you use a tin which has quite high sides (mine had 8cm high sides which gave me plenty of room) as it really is a super sized slice. You also don’t need a food processor or Thermomix to make this recipe, simply crush the plain biscuits with a rolling pin and roughly chop the Tim Tams – too easy!  I also made sure that I still had some large ‘chunks’ of Tim Tams when chopping up the biscuits for the inside of the slice, as I wanted to be able to bite through pieces of Tim Tams when I was eating this.

Prep Time 30 mins
Cook Time 5 mins
Total Time 6 hrs 35 mins
Servings 20 pieces

Ingredients
  

  • 250 g of plain biscuits - Marie or similar
  • 2 x 200g packs of Tim Tam Biscuits
  • 200 g of butter
  • 3 tbsp of cocoa
  • 4 tbsp of dessicated coconut
  • 1 x 395g tin of condensed milk
  • 200 g of milk chocolate

Instructions
 

  • Line a 20cm x 20cm square cake tin (which has high sides) with baking paper. Make sure you leave plenty of baking paper hanging over the edges to help you remove the Tim Tam Hedgehog Slice once it has set.
  • Roughly chop SIX of the Tim Tams into large pieces and set aside.
  • Place the plain biscuits into a food processor and blitz until they have just broken up, then add the remaining whole Tim Tams (approximately 1 ½ packs) and blitz for 5 seconds or until they have broken into large chunks - alternatively you can simply crush the plain biscuits with a rolling pin and roughly chop the Tim Tams with a large knife.
  • Place the crushed biscuits into a large bowl and set aside.
  • Pour the condensed milk into a small saucepan and add the butter and cocoa. Cook over a low heat stirring occasionally until the butter has melted and combined with the other ingredients.
  • Pour the melted ingredients into the bowl with the crushed biscuits and add the coconut. Working quickly, use a large metal spoon to mix the ingredients together.
  • Pour the mixture into your prepared tin and flatten the surface with the back of a spoon.
  • Break the milk chocolate into squares and place it into a microwave safe bowl. Cook in the microwave on high for 30 second spurts (mixing in between) until it's just melted. Pour over the top of the slice and sprinkle the Tim Tams you set aside earlier over the top. Place the Tim Tam Hedgehog Slice into the fridge for 6 hours (preferably overnight) to set before cutting into squares.

Notes

You can use a rolling pin to crush the biscuits instead of a food processor if you prefer.
You can also make this slice in a 18 x 28cm slice tin.
Some of the Tim Tams will melt when you add the melted butter mixture - this is ok!

        Hi, I wasn’t a huge fan of the defrosted slice I’m sorry. The chocolate topping really doesn’t freeze very well x

        I haven’t frozen this before I’m sorry. I don’t think it would defrost well due to the high chocolate content.

    My son was required to bring two packets of TIm Tams for his contribution to his cricket sides afternoon tea. I didn’t think that was very classy so I searched and found your recipe which uses two packets of Tim Tams. We made it and it was such a hit that he is now required to bring it to every game where they are required to provide afternoon tea. Everybody loves it and the captain jokes that it guarantees his place in the side. This slice is perfect for any afternoon tea and anyone who loves Tim Tams. Easy to make and eat.
    Five star all the way.

    This slice taste great but for some reason mine came out very sticky and does not appear to be as set as a normal hedgehog slice like in your pictures.

      Hi Michelle. I’m sorry to hear your slice hasn’t set quite right. It may come down to the brand of sweetened condensed milk that you used? I normally use Nestle. I hope that helps 🙂

    I’m a follower from Canada, do you know what the replacement for the Marie biscuits and the Tim Tam biscuits would be from here. Unfortunately those biscuits are not available here

      Hi Brenda, You could try a plain digestive biscuit in place of the marie biscuits and for the Tim Tams, I’d suggest any chocolate covered biscuit x
