Cookies And Lemon Cheesecake Balls
Author: 
Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: Cheesecake
Serves: 45 Balls
 
Instead of struggling to find space for a whole cake, why not go with something smaller that tastes divine? These cheesecake bites are easy, yummy and space savers.
Ingredients
  • 450gr Cream Cheese
  • 150gr Sour Cream (the thicker the better)
  • 300gr Tea Biscuits/ Sweet Graham Crackers
  • ½ Cup Sugar
  • 3 Tbsp Corn starch
  • Zest from ½ Lemon
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • Cookie Crumbs/ Coconut/ Sprinkles – for coating
Instructions
  1. Place the tea biscuits in a large Ziploc bag and smash into little pieces (the smaller the better – but not completely ground) – I use a rolling pin and simply rolled the pin on top of the cookies in the bag until the were crumbs.
  2. Place the cookie crumbs along with the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix together until combined into an even mix.
  3. Prepare a small bowl with additional cookie crumbs/ coconut or any other topping for coating the cheesecake balls
  4. Using 2 teaspoons scoop the cheese batter and drop into the bowl with the cookie crumbs (or any other chosen coating)
  5. Roll in the coating crumbs and form a ball.
  6. Repeat with the rest of the mix and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
