FAQ & Tips For Making Kahlua Cheesecake Balls

• Kahlua is an alcoholic coffee liqueur - you can use any brand of coffee liqueur you like
• Tim Tams are a famous Australian white chocolate coated cookie - you can substitute them with any white chocolate cookie you like 
• Adults-only dessert - this recipe is made using Baileys Irish cream and therefore contains alcohol. 
• use full fat cream cheese (not light) as it sets firmer
• chill the mixture in the fridge or freezer for 20 minutes before rolling into balls
• chill balls again before dipping in the melted chocolate - this will help the balls to keep their shape
• I used a combination of milk and white chocolate for dipping. Alternatively, you can use dark, milk or white chocolate
• I like to drizzle my Kahlua cheesecake balls with white chocolate - this is entirely optional
• Kahlua substitutes - you can substitute the Kahlua for a different alcohol such as Baileys Irish Cream. Or for a non-alchohlic version, you could replace the Kahlua with coffee, or omit the liquid entirely.
• Storing the cheesecake balls - store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
