These quick and easy no-bake Cheesecake Balls are made with Caramel Tim Tams and cream cheese, then covered in chocolate… talk about yum!
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ll know that I’m a massive fan of cheesecake balls. First came the Oreo Truffles, then strolled along the yummiest little Mint Slice Balls and now it’s all about the Caramel Tim Tam Cheesecake Balls. OMG. OMG. OMG. I can’t even tell you how much I love these babies. Honestly, whoever thought to combine biscuits with cream cheese and cover them in chocolate deserves a very, very big medal (or at least a very big hug!).
So let me tell you why I love these cheesecake balls so much:
a) they’re made with only 3 ingredients!! Yes 3!!!
b) they’re completely no-bake…. umm awesome!
c) they take about 10 minutes to make (hello Netflix!)
d) they taste ridiculously amazing – just like heaven in a little chocolatey ball
Surely that’s enough reasons, right!?
If you’ve got a food processor, blender or Thermomix, then that’s going to make this recipe even easier for you. If you don’t, you can always use a good old fashioned rolling pin to crush the biscuits. Either way, you’ve got some serious Caramel Tim Tam goodness coming your way.
Oh and if you’re a salted caramel fan (heck yes!), then why not sprinkle a tiny punch of sea salt over the top of the balls just before the chocolate sets. Oh boy, oh boy – salted caramel gets me every single time. If you’re making the cheesecake balls for a kids party, then you really can’t go wrong with a few sprinkles or hundreds and thousands over the top. Everyone loves sprinkles (especially me!).
Ok that’s enough waffle from me today, go and make yourself some super yummy Caramel Tim Tam Cheesecake Balls. Your skinny jeans might not thank you for it, but your tastebuds certainly will!!

Oh thanks so much Caroline – you’re so kind xx
This dish is a winner, i can imagine whipping up a batch of these to eat while on a netflix binge!
Netflix binges are my favourite thing this winter!!!

OMG these would be so dangerous for me. I LOVE caramel. Also LOVE chocolate. I would eat the whole batch!
I know exactly how you feel!
Oh I’ve made similar before and they were BAD. When I say BAD I mean they tasted so damn good but I couldn’t stop eating them!
Hahaha absolutely!! I know exactly what you mean!
Ok, i won’t lie.
You kinda already had me at Cheeseballs… and now you just tipped it over with Tim Tams… but not just any Tim Tams CARAMEL!
Your KILLING ME WOMAN! x
Just love that Caramel Tim Tam thinking of yours Lucy, such a great combination. How awesome are 3 ingredient recipes! Beautiful post and recipe as always lovely lady xx
You’re just too clever lady! xx
Aww thanks lovely xx
Lucy I just made these for a party tomorrow night. You were right so easy and quick. Can’t wait for everyone’s response
Woo hoo! Hope they enjoy them Lisa! xx
Just made these…I don’t think 150g of melted choc is enough- it didn’t do all of them, I just ended up dipping the balls in so there were partially covered.
But let me tell you! I’m going to have to use all of my strength NOT to eat them all! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Debbie, thanks for your feedback! Hahaha yes it takes a lot of willpower to stop eating them! xx
Can’t wait to try this! Question, what cream cheese do you use and how do you soften it?
Hi Ella, I just use Philadelphia or any similar brand and to soften it I just pop it onto the bench for about an hour or so before using it. 🙂
Thank you so much!
Anytime!
Hi there, how far in advance can you make these?? 2days before ok??
Absolutely! Just keep them in the fridge in an airtight container!
I made these last night, but used the generic supermarket caramel biscuit brand (tim tams werent on special) and the low fat ohilly cheese, oh my gosh …to die for!!! I took these to work and every body said YUM YUM, I want the recipe.
So thank you so much, your website is awesome 🙂
Yay!!! That’s so great to hear! So glad everyone likes them (hope you get a couple for yourself!!!) xxx
These look so yum. Could you use another flavour Tim Tam? I have white choc in the cupboard…..might have to give these a go!
Absolutely!!!!
Hi Lucy, my first time to visit your site. P lease dont think I am crazy but I am lost with Caramel Chocolate Biscuit. Can you help me out. So sorry..I make biscuits, we eat buiscuits never have had a chocolate caramel.
Hi Jamie, the caramel variety are a type of Tim Tam. If you can’t get caramel Tim Tams you can use any flavoured caramel biscuit (or in fact any cookie/biscuit!!).
Can you send me he recipe in ounces. and I am not familiar with Tim Tams. are they sold in America? Thanks, Kay
.Can you convert recipe to American measurements, please? Also where do I find Tim Tams?
Thanks so much!
Hi Cherry, please refer to other comments for an online converter. 🙂
Can these be frozen??
I haven’t actually frozen them before to be honest! I’m not too sure how well the cream cheese would go frozen. You could always try a batch and see!
These sound delicious but what is a tim tam I live in america the measures are different than we have here also would like to know where we can get imitations of and measurements we can understand Please help
Hi Linda, Apparently you can buy Tim Tams at World Market, Walmart or on Amazon 🙂
I would like to make the cheesecake balls, but I have never heard of Tim Tam. Also, when you say biscuits, do you mean cookies or candy or biscuits?
Thank you!
I made your granola and it is soooooo good. I make it frequently. I have to use gluten free oatmeal though.
Hi Jeanette,
Tim Tams are a chocolate covered cookie. They’re an Australian cookie but you might be able to get them on Amazon or at Target or World Market.
If you can get them, you can simply use any caramel flavoured cookie.
I’m so glad you enjoy the granola – it’s one of my faves too. xxx
Hi Lucy,,, absolutely love your blog esp with thermomix version. Thank you so much…
gonna try this but i dont’ think i can find tim tams or caramel tim tams in malaysia
how about substituting it with Oreos… will it do..
thanks…
Absolutely!!!! I love making cheesecake truffles with Oreos – they’re so dense and delicious!
Hi! What would be the British alternative to Tim tams?
Apparently Penguin biscuits are similar!
I felt that tingle at the back of my mouth just looking at the picture, can’t wait to have a crack at this one..YUUUMMMM!!!!
Hehe thank you!
Just made these for morning tea tomorrow. Did a taste test. Delicious!
Yay!!! Enjoy!! xx
