Ingredient notes:
- Tim Tams: Everyone's favourite chocolate biscuit gets an upgrade in these delicious cheesecake balls! And good news for our gluten free friends - you can use the gluten free Tim Tams for this recipe!
- Cream cheese: This is what gives these treats their signature cheesecake flavour.
- Dark Chocolate: Feel free to use any type of chocolate on top of these. My favourite is Whittaker's 50% dark chocolate but you could use milk chocolate, white chocolate or even Caramilk if you prefer!

Step by step instructions:
Set one Tim Tam aside for the topping. Add the remaining biscuits to a food processor and blitz until fine crumbs form.
Add the cream cheese and blitz again until well combined and the mixture comes together.
Scoop the mixture into heaped tablespoon portions. I used a small cookie dough scoop to make this easier. Roll into 14 balls and place on a plate. Add the dark chocolate to a heatproof glass bowl and microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring each time, until smooth and melted.
Dip each cheesecake ball into the melted chocolate, turning to coat completely, then place on a tray lined with baking paper.
Crush the reserved Tim Tam and sprinkle over the balls while the chocolate is still wet.
Place in the fridge for 1 hour or until set. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
