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.
Check out the video to see how ridiculously quick and easy it is to make these Baileys Tim Tam Cheesecake Balls…

Awesome post (as usual!) these look fab but I don’t think they would last long enough to be given as gifts!
Thanks hun!
I’m an Aussie in Brisbane, Queensland and made these with Oreos (ha ha!) yesterday to takeover to a friend. My only problem was the humidity here in summer trying to dip the balls in the melted chocolate I had a mess everywhere! However they looked and tasted yummy!
Never seen one of your posts or recipes. However will definitely try these. Dipped in milk chocolate and drizzled with white
Thanks Lyn! I hope you enjoy them! xx
Yummo. Ive got salty caramel baileys
OMG PERFECT!!
I have the Caramel Baileys as well.
How long will these keep for OR can they be frozen?
OMG YUM!!!! If you’re going to freeze them, I would do so before you coat them in the chocolate. Not frozen they’ll last in the fridge for about 5 days (depending on the use by date of your cream cheese of course!). Oooh the Caramel Baileys would be delicious!!
These look too easy and delicious! If you were making them for someone who doesn’t drink alcohol what could I substitute the Baileys with?
Anything! You could just do them as a white chocolate ball, add crushed up peppermint, Milo… anything! They’re so versatile!
Milo you can probably use Baileys Creamers, there is no alcohol in it & you will have the baileys flavor.
Great idea!
What are “Tim Tam’s” familiar to? I have never heard of them.I would like to try these, but wouldn’t know what to use. Thank you.
Hi Barb, Tim Tams are a very famous Australian chocolate covered cookie. You can use any chocolate covered cookie you like though – it doesn’t have to be that particular brand.
Is there a recipe to make your own tim tams? Don’t know where to find them in the USA. And I love to bake, cook, grill, candy make. I’m from GA, USA but am now in KY, USA, (Bourbon country). I love to make my own bourbon balls and bourbon truffles. These sound wonderful. Thanks
Hi there, you can use any chocolate covered cookies. Or if you can’t get hold of any, Oreos or great too!
Would kit kats be similar?? From the us and these sound perfect i have heard of tim tams but forgotten what they are similar too in the united states…
Hmm I’m not sure of how these would go with Kit Kats. I’m not sure if the texture would be hard enough to hold them together. Possibly!!! But I would probably use oreos instead to be on the safe side. xx
I would love to try these but having a hard time finding ”white” choco.Tim Tams. You say to use Oreos, do you mean the vanilla ones?
The vanilla ones would be perfect 🙂
So white chocolate covered oreos would work? I tried to find the white chocolate Tim Tam’s but haven’t been able to. I found some milk chocolate covered Tim Tams. I’m dying to make these, just need the cookies!
Yep either of those will be fine! xx
I have made these with Mint Slice biscuits and coloured the white chocolate pale green and drizzled them with white choc. Makes them minty and extra Xmasy.
Perfect!!
I found some chocolate Tim Tams here in the US (NY) at Target.
Perfect!!
In found them in the cookie isle at Walmart.
Tim Tams are sold at Target in the US. Not sure if they have the white ones.
In US, the Tim Tam cookies are sold at Target
They are a type of biscuits theatre very popular in Australia. You can use any chocolate covered biscuits you like though!
Can you list the recipe amounts in English measurements, I guess is the word I am looking for? Like cups, teaspoons, tablespoon etc. Thank you
Hi Sue, We do the majority of our recipes in grams as they are more accurate and they are also suitable to the Thermomix. Feel free to use an online converter to help change the measurements. 🙂
Does anyone know the american way to make these without grams but real measurements that some of us can understand? I would love to make these
for a party I’m attending on Friday. Thank you
You can use any online converter which will help you to convert to any measurements you like 🙂
You might want to see if you have a Store called Trader Joes Or A store called World Market, they mey carry the tim tams. or just use oreos. would probably work well.
Oh you’ve never tried Tim Tams? Oh God, don’t try them coz they are highly addictive! We love them here in Australia! So many different flavours to choose from.
Yummy
