During a recent episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, Australian actress Isla Fisher introduced Kelly Clarkson to a beloved Australian chocolate biscuit, the Tim Tam, and shared the popular method known as the “Tim Tam Slam.” This demonstration took place on a Friday, with Fisher guiding Clarkson through the unique way to consume the treat that combines chocolate biscuits and tea.
The Tim Tam consists of two malted biscuits with a chocolate cream filling in the middle, covered in a textured chocolate coating. Fisher explained the technique on air while Clarkson held two cups of tea—essential to the experience—emphasizing that this is the authentic way to enjoy the biscuit.
Step-by-Step Guide to the Tim Tam Slam
Fisher instructed Clarkson to bite off opposite ends of the Tim Tam, creating openings on both sides before introducing the tea.
“So, the proper way to eat a Tim Tam is to use it essentially like a straw,”
Fisher said, highlighting the biscuit’s design and purpose. She added,
“Tim Tams have been around Australia probably 60 years, and they are the greatest thing that happens in the country.”
Clarkson initially asked, “Are we gonna dunk?” but Fisher corrected her with a playful tone:
“We’re going to suck and dunk.”
After a brief pause and audience laughter, Clarkson admitted with a smile, “Not my first time.”
Fisher continued with directions:
“Okay, we’re going to hold our biscuit and we’re going to put our lips around it. And then we’re going to suck the tea through [it]. And then once you taste the tea, you got to suck it all the way in your mouth.”
She also offered a warning about where not to try this treat, cautioning,
“on a date or with a white dress.”
Once the center of the biscuit becomes soaked and soft thanks to the tea, the final step involves quickly eating the entire biscuit:
“Now, when it’s wet in the middle, right, and you sucked everything in, you’d stick the whole thing in your mouth!”
As the demonstration wrapped up, Clarkson, clearly amused and a bit flustered, said,
“You have got to stop talking.”
She then completed the Tim Tam Slam, admitting the biscuit tasted delightfully “melty.”
Isla Fisher’s Return to the Now You See Me Franchise
Beyond sharing the Tim Tam tradition, Isla Fisher is also promoting her return to the Now You See Me series. She missed the second installment but returns for Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, rejoining the original Four Horsemen ensemble alongside Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, and Dave Franco.
The film adds notable actors such as Mark Ruffalo, Morgan Freeman, Rosamund Pike, Ariana Greenblatt, Dominic Sessa, and Justice Smith. Directed by Ruben Fleischer, known for titles like Zombieland and Uncharted, the story follows Eisenberg’s character, J. Daniel Atlas, as he assembles a new team of young magicians for a high-stakes heist far greater than previous ones.
The newcomers, played by Greenblatt, Sessa, and Smith, plan to steal a precious “heart diamond” from a corrupt affluent family. When they encounter difficulties, the original team, including Fisher, Harrelson, and Franco, returns to assist. The reunited group also collaborates with Freeman’s character to pull off the ambitious magic heist.
Anticipation Builds for Upcoming Release
Now You See Me: Now You Don’t is set to premiere in theaters on November 14. The film promises a blend of illusion and suspense, continuing the franchise’s legacy of combining magic with crime capers. Fisher’s fans look forward to seeing her reprise her role, while her Tim Tam demonstration introduced many viewers to a cultural treat that highlights her Australian roots.
