Baileys Cheesecake Balls are a delightful no-bake dessert featuring crushed chocolate-covered butter cookies blended with mascarpone cheese and Irish Cream Liqueur, then coated in rich white and dark chocolate. These bite-sized treats are perfect for parties or a luxurious sweet snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Mixture

  • 2 dozen chocolate-covered butter cookies
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
  • ⅓ cup Irish Cream Liqueur

Chocolate Coating

  • 10 ounces white chocolate, chopped
  • 2 ounces dark chocolate, chopped

Instructions

  1. Crush Cookies: Crush the chocolate-covered butter cookies into fine crumbs and place them into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add Irish Cream Liqueur: Pour ⅓ cup Irish Cream Liqueur into the cookie crumbs and mix thoroughly to combine.
  3. Add Mascarpone Cheese: Incorporate 8 ounces of mascarpone cheese into the cookie and liqueur mixture. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Form Balls and Freeze: Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop, form cheesecake balls from the mixture and arrange them on the tray. Freeze for at least 45 minutes to firm up.
  5. Melt White Chocolate: In a double boiler, melt 10 ounces of white chocolate, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Scrape down the sides as needed for even melting.
  6. Coat Cheesecake Balls: Dip each frozen cheesecake ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Place the coated balls back onto the parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for one hour to set.
  7. Melt Dark Chocolate: Using the double boiler method, melt 2 ounces of dark chocolate, stirring continuously until smooth.
  8. Drizzle Dark Chocolate: Drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the white chocolate-coated cheesecake balls evenly. Allow the chocolate to set for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  9. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, your Baileys Cheesecake Balls are ready to be enjoyed as a decadent treat.

Notes

  • For smoother balls, ensure the cookie crumbs are finely crushed.
  • Use good-quality white and dark chocolate for best flavor and texture.
  • Keep cheesecake balls frozen or refrigerated until dipping to maintain their shape.
  • You can substitute Irish Cream Liqueur with a non-alcoholic coffee liqueur if preferred.
  • Store the balls refrigerated and consume within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
