Ingredients
Scale
- 2 dozen chocolate-covered butter cookies
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
- ⅓ cup Irish Cream Liqueur
- 2 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
- 10 ounces white chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- Crush the chocolate-covered butter cookies and place the crumbs into a mixing bowl. Pour in the Irish Cream Liqueur and mix thoroughly.
- Add the mascarpone cheese to the cookie mixture. Blend until smooth and well combined.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Use a small cookie scoop to form cheesecake balls from the mixture. Arrange the balls on the tray and freeze for at least 45 minutes, or longer if time allows.
- Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Scrape down the sides as needed while melting.
- Dip each frozen cheesecake ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Return the coated balls to the parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for one hour.
- Melt the dark chocolate using the double boiler method, stirring continuously.
- Drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the white chocolate-coated cheesecake balls. Allow the chocolate to set for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For best results, allow the cheesecake balls to chill thoroughly before serving.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a week.
