Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 36 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies
- 230 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 340 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 60 grams White chocolate chips (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
1. Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Ensure there are no large chunks remaining.
2. Transfer the crushed cookies to a large mixing bowl and add the softened cream cheese. Mix until fully combined and a dough-like consistency forms.
3. Scoop the mixture into small portions (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll into smooth, round balls using your hands. Place the balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Chill the balls in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to firm them up.
5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
6. Remove the chilled balls from the refrigerator. Using a fork, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing the coated ball back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
7. If using white chocolate for decoration, melt the white chocolate chips in a separate microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the coated balls using a spoon or piping bag for a decorative touch.
8. Allow the chocolate coating to set completely at room temperature, or speed up the process by placing the balls in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
9. Once the chocolate has hardened, serve the 'Golf Balls' on a platter or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
