• 225g softened cream cheese
• 60ml Baileys Irish Cream liqueur
• 300g melted white chocolate (for dipping)
• 50g melted milk chocolate (optional, for drizzling)

Directions

Step 1: Crush the Biscuits

• Break the Tim Tams into crumbs using a food processor, or place them in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin until fine.

Step 2: Mix the Filling

• In a large bowl, combine the crushed Tim Tams, softened cream cheese, and Baileys. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 3: Shape the Balls

• Scoop out small portions of the chilled mixture and roll them into balls about 1 inch in diameter.
• Place the balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Chill in the fridge or freezer for another 30 minutes to set.

Step 4: Melt the White Chocolate

• Place the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals at 50% power. Stir after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

Step 5: Coat the Balls

• Using two teaspoons, dip each chilled cheesecake ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring an even coat.
• Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated balls back onto the lined tray.

Step 6: Chill to Set

• Refrigerate the coated cheesecake balls for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate coating is fully hardened.

Step 7: Add a Drizzle (Optional)

• Melt the milk chocolate and drizzle it over the chilled cheesecake balls for a decorative finish.
