For white chocolate lovers, this recipe is everything. Make these White Chocolate and Raspberry Tim Tam Balls from a filling of crushed white chocolate Tim Tams combined with cream cheese, a dash of lemon zest and freeze-dried raspberries. Then dip in melted white chocolate and sprinkled with more freeze-dried raspberries! The ultimate sweet treat, especially for those who prefer white chocolate to dark.

Ingredient notes:

Five items on a wooden surface: a Cadbury Dream white chocolate bar, Arnotts Tim Tam White biscuits, Fresh As dried raspberries, Pams cream cheese, and a whole lemon.

Tim Tams: These white chocolate Tim Tams are the perfect pairing with slightly savoury cream cheese and tangy raspberry.
Lemon: The lemon zest and juice balances out the sweetness of the white chocolate!
Freeze-dried raspberries: These aren't cheap, but they add a lot of flavour to these cheesecake balls. You can find them in most major supermarkets.

Add the cream cheese, lemon juice and lemon zest, then blitz again until the mixture comes together. Add the freeze-dried raspberries and pulse a few times until combined, leaving a few small pieces for texture.

Ingredients including cream cheese, lemon zest, and flour are in a food processor bowl, ready to be mixed.

Scoop the mixture into 12 portions. I used a small cookie dough scoop to make this easier. Roll into balls and place on a plate or tray. Place the balls in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up and help them hold their shape.

Add the white chocolate to a heatproof bowl and melt gently in the microwave in short bursts, stirring between each burst until smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate as white chocolate can seize easily. Dip each cheesecake ball into the melted chocolate, turning to coat completely, then place on a tray lined with baking paper.
