What You Need for Baileys & Tim Tam Cheesecake Truffles

Ingredients:

  • 1 package Tim Tam cookies (about 8-10 cookies)
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream
  • 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips or candy melts
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)
  • Crushed Tim Tam cookies, for garnish

How to Make Baileys & Tim Tam Cheesecake Truffles

Step 1: Prepare the Truffle Filling

  1. Crush the Tim Tam cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and smashing with a rolling pin. Reserve 2 tablespoons of crumbs for garnish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed cookies, softened cream cheese, and Baileys Irish Cream. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 2: Shape the Truffles

  1. Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Freeze the truffles for 30 minutes to firm up.

Step 3: Melt the Chocolate

  1. Melt the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. If using white chocolate for drizzling, melt it separately in the same manner.

Step 4: Coat the Truffles

  1. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each frozen truffle into the melted milk chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing the truffle back on the parchment-lined sheet.

Step 5: Decorate and Chill

  1. Drizzle the truffles with melted white chocolate (optional) and sprinkle with reserved Tim Tam crumbs for garnish.
  2. Refrigerate the truffles for at least 1 hour to set.

Tips for Baileys & Tim Tam Cheesecake Truffles

  1. Chill the Filling: Freezing the truffle balls ensures they hold their shape when dipped in chocolate.
  2. Thin the Chocolate: Add a teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening to the melted chocolate for a smoother coating.
  3. Customize the Flavor: Adjust the amount of Baileys to your taste or use other liqueurs like Kahlúa or Amaretto.

Substitutions and Variations

  • Dairy-Free Option: Use dairy-free cream cheese and chocolate.
  • Alcohol-Free: Substitute Baileys with a teaspoon of vanilla or almond extract.
  • Different Cookies: Replace Tim Tams with Oreos or another favorite chocolate cookie.

Make a Healthier Version

  • Reduced Sugar: Use sugar-free chocolate chips and cookies.
  • Lighter Filling: Substitute cream cheese with low-fat or Greek yogurt cream cheese.
