Ingredients
  

For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 200 grams Chocolate-Covered Butter Cookies Any chocolate cookie can work as a great substitution.
  • 250 grams Mascarpone Cheese Feel free to use cream cheese for a tangier taste.
  • 100 milliliters Irish Cream Liqueur Can be swapped for coffee liqueur.
For the Coating
  • 200 grams White Chocolate Always use high-quality melting chocolate for best results.
  • 100 grams Dark Chocolate Ideal for drizzling on top.

Equipment

  • double boiler
  • Mixing Bowl
  • food processor
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by crushing the chocolate-covered butter cookies into fine crumbs; a food processor works magic here. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed cookies with the Irish Cream Liqueur until the mixture holds together.
  2. To create the luscious filling, add mascarpone cheese to the cookie mixture. Using a hand mixer, blend on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Scoop out tablespoons of the mixture and roll them into tight, smooth balls; this should yield about 20-24 balls. Place each ball on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for at least 45 minutes.
  4. Set a double boiler on medium heat and add the white chocolate. Stir continuously until melted and smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Retrieve the chilled cheesecake balls and dip them into the melted white chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Place the coated balls back onto the parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for one hour.
  6. Melt the dark chocolate using a fresh double boiler, stirring until silky smooth.
  7. Once the white chocolate has set, drizzle the melted dark chocolate over each ball using a spoon or piping bag.
