Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 20 servings

  • 25 milk chocolate covered cookies (such as Fudge Stripes, Chocolate Digestives, or Le Petit Ecolier), crushed

  • 1 (8 ounce) container mascarpone cheese

  • ⅓ cup Irish cream liqueur (such as Baileys®)

  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips

  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Combine crushed cookies, mascarpone cheese, and Irish cream liqueur in a bowl; mix well.

    Recipe Tip

    Whichever type of cookie you use, estimate 11 ounces of cookies. This is equal to 20 to 25 cookies, depending on size and which variety you use.

  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a small cookie scoop to portion cookie mixture and roll into twenty 1-inch balls. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for about 45 minutes, or in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes.

  3. Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat 10 to 15 seconds at a time, stirring well between each interval. Continue to heat and stir until the white chocolate is almost fully melted, then stir well to fully melt the chips until smooth.

  4. Dip cheesecake balls into melted white chocolate and return to the refrigerator to chill until chocolate has hardened completely, 40 to 50 minutes.

  5. Place dark chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat 10 to 15 seconds at a time, stirring well between each interval. Continue to heat and stir until the white chocolate is almost fully melted, then stir well to fully melt the chips until smooth.

  6. Drizzle dark chocolate over chilled cheesecake balls. Allow to set, about 30 minutes.

Cook’s Note

I use white chocolate cookies, but you can use cookies with dark or milk chocolate on the inside. If you find white chocolate too sweet, you can also use milk chocolate to coat the balls.
