Crush the Tim Tams in a food processor until they form fine crumbs. Alternatively, place them in a sealed bag and bash with a rolling pin.
Combine the softened cannabutter and cream cheese in a large bowl, beating until smooth and well incorporated.
Mix in the Tim Tam crumbs and icing sugar, stirring until the mixture holds together when pressed. If too dry, add a little more cannabutter; if too wet, add more crumbs.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to firm up for easier rolling.
Roll the mixture into 16 even balls, each about the size of a walnut. Use Digital Kitchen Scale (0.01g) to ensure consistent dosing.
Coat each ball in your chosen coating — coconut, cocoa powder, or crushed nuts. Roll gently to ensure even coverage.
Store in the refrigerator in ONGROK UV Glass Storage Jars (2-pack, Child-Resistant) for at least 30 minutes before serving to firm up completely.
Perfect Texture
Don’t over-process the Tim Tams — some texture makes for more interesting balls than a completely smooth paste.
Half-Strength Option
Replace half the cannabutter with regular butter for milder 5mg balls, perfect for beginners or social settings.
Flavour Variations
Try different Tim Tam flavours — caramel, white chocolate, or dark chocolate varieties all work beautifully.
Rolling Technique
Use a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon to portion the mixture for perfectly uniform balls.
Coating Tips
Press coatings gently into the surface rather than just rolling — this prevents them falling off later.
Always Label
Store in clearly marked containers with the date, contents, and dosage per ball to avoid accidents.
| Method | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Room temperature | 2 days | May become soft in warm weather |
| Refrigerated | 1 week | Best for maintaining shape and potency |

Absolutely! Replace 15g of the cannabutter with regular butter for milder 5mg balls. This is perfect for beginners or when you want to enjoy more without overdoing it.
Like all edibles, Tim Tam balls typically take 30-120 minutes to take effect. The cream cheese and chocolate may slow absorption slightly, so be patient and don’t eat more too quickly.
Yes, if you’re making cannabutter from scratch, decarboxylation is essential to activate the THC. If you’re using pre-made cannabutter, this step is already done.
Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to one week. They can be frozen for up to 2 months — just thaw for 10 minutes before eating.
Stay calm, hydrate well, and find a comfortable place to rest. The effects will pass within 4-8 hours. Contact the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26 if you’re concerned.
Cannabis coconut oil works well, but the balls may be softer at room temperature. Use the same amount and chill the mixture longer before rolling.
