There are few things in life better than a Tim Tam. Except perhaps a freshly baked, buttery croissant. Unless, of course, you mash the two together to create the ultimate afternoon pick-me-up. 

Two dessert giants, Arnott’s and Lune croissanterie have come together in honour of Tim Tam’s 60th birthday to deliver a special-edition pastry. The croissant is twice baked with Tim Tam frangipane and chocolate ganache, then finished with a generous drizzle of melted chocolate, and a layer of Tim Tam chunks.

The next-level pain au chocolat is the brainchild of Lune founder and queen of the croissant Kate Reid who said of the collaboration, “A very big Happy Birthday to Tim Tam! We are so honoured to be part of this special 60-year celebration.

I am this close to fulfilling my dream of becoming the Tim Tam Genie! We all have such fond memories with Tim Tam, and so we really wanted to create something that befits such an Aussie icon.”

The Tim Tam croissants can be picked up in-store on a whim, but we suggest pre-ordering to avoid disappointment.

The Tim Tam croissant will be available at all Lune venues from Tue, October 1 – Thu, October 31. Find your nearest Lune and pre-order at the website here.
