Rich, creamy and oh-so-delicious! These 4 ingredient, no-bake Baileys Tim Tam Cheesecake Balls are the perfect gift for family or friends… or the yummiest little sneaky late night treat!
If you love Baileys, then you’ve come to the right place. If you’re a chocoholic, then welcome… you’re definitely at the right place. And if you’re a cheesecake lovin’ gal (or guy!), then OMG you should totally be here. Annnnnddd we should really be best friends, because I love all those things too. High five!
Now let me start off by explaining these Baileys Tim Tam Cheesecake Balls to you in two simple words. FREAKING AMAZING!!! I wish I could make those capital letters even more massive because seriously FREEEEAAAKIIINNNGGG AAAAMMMAAAZZINNNGG. You’ve got the idea, right?
I first posted this recipe a couple of years ago.. and ever since then it’s just gone absolutely crazy. There are some serious Baileys lovers out there. And so I decided that it was time to redo the old photos, make a fun little video to show you how simple this recipe is and celebrate the utter deliciousness of these little babies.
Now I have to say that these Baileys Tim Tam Cheesecake Balls are my all-time favourite version. BUT! If you’re more of a Kahlua lover (totally ok) then check out this version. Or if you’re after a non-boozy version, these Caramel Cheesecake Balls are a must.
These little balls also make the most delicious present for family or friends. Hello homemade Christmas gifts!! But if you decide to go down the ‘giving away’ route, then pretty please promise that you’ll keep at least 5 of these for yourself. Or 10.
