Indulge in the ultimate cozy treat with this recipe for Rich Hot Chocolate and Tim Tam Dippers—a decadent and creamy beverage paired with Australia's favorite chocolate-covered cookies. Made with whole milk, heavy cream, and premium dark chocolate, this luxurious hot chocolate is deeply flavorful and irresistibly smooth. A hint of vanilla and a touch of cocoa powder enhance its richness, while optional whipped cream and chocolate shavings add an elegant finish. The fun doesn't stop there—Tim Tam cookies are perfect for dipping or for the iconic "Tim Tam Slam," where you use the cookie as a straw to sip the velvety drink before savoring it in your mouth. Ready in just 15 minutes, this show-stopping combination is the ideal way to warm up on a chilly evening or to impress guests with a playful, indulgent dessert.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is warm but not boiling.
Add the finely chopped dark chocolate, unsweetened cocoa powder, and granulated sugar to the saucepan. Whisk continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Once the chocolate has melted, stir in the vanilla extract. Reduce the heat to low and let the hot chocolate simmer gently for 1–2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully pour the hot chocolate into two mugs.
If desired, top the hot chocolate with whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings for an extra touch of decadence.
Serve with a package of Tim Tam cookies on the side for dipping. For a classic 'Tim Tam Slam', bite off opposite corners of the cookie, use it as a straw to sip the hot chocolate, and then enjoy the softened treat!
