In our family, Sunday is family dinner night. Nobody ever misses one unless you have a valid excuse (like if you died) and you want your head bitten off by my mum. Plus you have NEVER had real food until you've eaten at the Lee household. I learned everything I know about cooking from my mama and I would probably not be married right now if I couldn't cook like my mother because my husband would STARVE to death. So anyway my Nana came over for family dinner on Sunday and I made these chocolate cheesecake balls. She asked me for the recipe but I thought I'd share it with everyone because they are so yummy and super easy to make. I love my nana, she is awesome. She is the best Nana that you could ask for. The kind that never forgets your birthday, who always shows up to family events. She is there when you call her, when you need her or when you just want to chat. My nana has seven grandchildren and two great grandchildren and even though she might not share the same blood as some of us, she has never made me feel otherwise. I am really lucky to have a Nana like her! So here is the recipe Nana. xxx ** I have to thank Pex for this because I didn't know about these delicious balls of goodness until she brought some over to my mums place on the weekend. So if you're reading this, thanks Pex! I'm stealing your recipe and sharing it to the world! Chocolate BALLS. 1 x block of original cream cheese 1 x packet of oreo's/tim tams/toffee pops (basically any biscuit you like) 1 x pack of chocolate melts (I used nestle milk) white chocolate/nuts/coconut/sprinkles for decoration optional and fancy lol. Chuck the cream cheese and biscuits into the food processor and mix until smooth. Roll out into balls and place on a tray covered in baking paper. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes. Melt your chocolate and take each ball and roll in the chocolate. Pop them back onto the tray and put your decorations on top. Refrigerate until the chocolate is hard or you are ready to eat them. Seriously, they look so complicated but they are so easy! I know its a bit weird for me to put a recipe like this with so much dairy when we don't eat it that much.. but they are just so good. There is a way to make these dairy free. Just replace cream cheese with sheeze (its what I use & what Chelsea Winter uses to make df cheesecake) You can get this from Harvest Whole Foods, huckleberry farms or online. If you grab whittakers 50% or higher it is dairy free and you can replace the milk chocolate with this. YUM! I'd love to know what you think if you make these! This is how mine turned out.. They could be prettier.. I was going for a rustic look... HA HA not really, I was just making a mess. Until next time,
