Seriously easy no-bake treats! Creamy, tangy cheesecake-like balls made from crushed Digestive cookies, bound with cream cheese, and dipped in sweet white chocolate. Your new favorite quick dessert!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 150–200g Digestive Cookies (about 1.5 – 2 cups crumbs)
  • 50–60g Cream Cheese, softened to room temp (block style works best!)
  • 80–100g White Chocolate (good quality for melting)

Instructions

  1. Crush Cookies: Blitz the Digestive cookies into fine crumbs. Like damp sand! A food processor is fastest, but a bag and rolling pin work great too.
  2. Mix: In a bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and the softened cream cheese. Get your hands in there and mix until it comes together like soft dough.
  3. Roll: Shape the mixture into small balls (about 1-inch). Place them on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper (so they don’t stick!).
  4. Chill (Super Important!): Pop the sheet of balls into the fridge for at least 1 hour. They need to get really firm for dipping. Don’t skip this!
  5. Melt Chocolate: Gently melt the white chocolate. Use short bursts on low power in the microwave (stirring often!) or a double boiler. Careful not to burn it!
  6. Dip: Take the chilled balls out. Dip each one into the melted white chocolate, coating it completely. Let any extra chocolate drip off.
  7. Set: Place the coated balls back on the parchment paper. If adding sprinkles, do it now while the chocolate is wet! Chill again for 15-30 minutes, just until the chocolate is hard.

Notes

  • Serving: These are best served chilled straight from the fridge! Perfect with coffee or tea. Pop them in mini cupcake liners to look extra fancy.
  • Tips & Tricks:
    • Make sure your cream cheese is softened – it makes mixing way easier.
    • The 1-hour chill before dipping is crucial so the balls don’t fall apart.
    • Want to swap? Milk or dark chocolate works just as well!
  • Storage: Keep leftover cake balls in an airtight container in the fridge because of the cream cheese. They’ll last for about 3-5 days. Enjoy cold!
