Notes

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
Ingredients Info:
  • Tim Tams – these are an iconic Australian biscuit made by Arnotts (known as cookies in the US). For this recipe I use the white chocolate Tim Tams which are plain finger biscuit coated in white chocolate.
  • Peppermint Crisp bars – these have a hard and crunchy peppermint filling coated in milk chocolate.
  • Cream cheese – I recommend using full fat Philly cream cheese for this recipe as it sets firmer than the light versions.
  • White chocolate – this is used for dipping the cheesecake balls into. Choose white chocolate melts or cooking chocolate as they melt easier than regular chocolate.
 
More Recipe Tips:
Storing - Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Freezing - freeze in an airtight container for up to 1 month. Allow to defrost in the fridge before consuming.
Peppermint extract (optional) - You can add a few drops of peppermint extract to intensify the peppermint flavour.
Chilling the mixture - If you want beautiful and round cheesecake balls that hold their shape, then it’s important to chill the mixture before coating it in the melted chocolate. I recommend placing the balls into the freezer for at least 30 minutes before dipping in the chocolate.
