Step-by-Step Instructions for Baileys Cheesecake Balls
- Begin by crushing the chocolate-covered butter cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a plastic bag and rolling pin.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with your Irish cream liqueur, stirring until the mixture is moist but holds together.
- Add mascarpone cheese to your cookie mixture and blend everything together until you achieve a smooth, creamy filling.
- Scoop out a tablespoon of the cheesecake mixture and roll it in your palms to form small balls, approximately the size of a bite.
- Place each ball onto a parchment-lined baking tray, ensuring they have some space between them. Transfer to the freezer and let them chill for at least 45 minutes.
- Using a double boiler, melt the white chocolate over gentle heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Carefully dip each frozen cheesecake ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Return the coated balls to the parchment-lined tray, and repeat the process until all are coated. Then, place them in the refrigerator for 1 hour to set.
- After the white chocolate has hardened, melt the dark chocolate in the double boiler and drizzle over the tops of each Baileys Cheesecake Ball.
- Allow the drizzled chocolate to set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving.
