Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Baileys Extract
- 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs
- Chocolate Coating (milk, dark, or white chocolate)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 8 oz of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, and 2 tablespoons of Baileys Extract. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend these ingredients until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually fold in 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs until well incorporated. The mixture should be thick enough to form balls.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. This makes it easier to roll the mixture into balls.
- Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the balls for about 15-20 minutes to firm them up, which will help during the coating process.
- While the cheesecake balls are in the freezer, melt your choice of chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted and smooth.
- Remove the balls from the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate, using a fork to coat them evenly. Gently shake off any excess chocolate and place them back on the parchment-lined sheet.
- Let the chocolate coating set in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. If desired, you can drizzle additional melted chocolate on top for a decorative touch.
