Tim Tam Cream Matcha Recipe
A modern Australian take on your daily matcha
This recipe takes that familiar flavour and pairs it with matcha to create something that feels both comforting and new.
It’s not just a drink. It sits somewhere between a matcha latte and a dessert. Layered, textured, and designed to be sipped slowly.
What makes this different
Instead of simply adding chocolate, this recipe builds flavour through layers:
- A soft, airy Tim Tam cream
- Freshly whisked matcha for balance
- Milk and ice to bring everything together
The result is creamy, slightly indulgent, but still clean enough to enjoy as a daily ritual.
Ingredients (1 serving)
- 2~3 Tim Tams
- 50 ml whipping cream
- 20 ml milk
- 4 g matcha powder
- 40 ml warm water
- 80 ml milk
- Ice
Step 1: Make the Tim Tam cream
Crush the Tim Tams into fine crumbs. This forms the base of your cream and gives it that signature chocolate biscuit flavour.
Optional: Microwave the crumbs for about 5 seconds to slightly melt the chocolate. This helps the flavour blend more seamlessly into the cream.
Add whipping cream and a splash of milk, then whisk for about 40 seconds until the mixture becomes light, airy, and slightly thickened. You’re aiming for a soft, pourable consistency.
Step 2: Prepare the matcha
In a separate bowl, whisk the matcha powder with warm water until smooth and lightly foamy.
A well-whisked matcha is key here. It cuts through the richness of the cream, keeping the drink balanced.
Step 3: Build the base
Fill a glass with ice, then pour in the milk.
Slowly pour the matcha over the milk to create a clean, layered effect. This contrast between the green matcha and white milk sets the visual tone of the drink.
Step 4: Finish with the cream
Gently spoon the Tim Tam cream over the top.
Some of it will sit on the surface, while some will sink slightly into the drink — creating a cookies-and-cream texture as you sip.
How to drink it
Enjoy it layered for a more gradual experience. Use a teaspoon to scoop the Tim Tam cream, then sip the matcha beneath.
