    Expert Tips

    Follow our top tips for the perfect Thermomix Peppermint Christmas Cheesecake Balls!

    • Chill The Mixture - make sure your cheesecake balls are quite solid before dipping them into the chocolate, otherwise they will fall apart.
    • Dipping The Cheesecake Balls Into Chocolate - I find poking a skewer into the base of the balls makes it easier to dip them into the melted chocolate. Alternatively, you can use a fork.
    • Use full fat (not light) cream cheese - as it sets firmer.
    • Storing - store cheesecake balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
    • Freezing - freeze leftover cheesecake balls for up to 3 months. Allow to defrost in the fridge before consuming.

    FAQ

    What are Mint Slice biscuits?

    Mint Slice biscuits are a famous variety of biscuits made by Arnotts in Australia. They have a soft mint filling, covered in a crunchy chocolate biscuit and a smooth melted chocolate coating. If you can't buy Arnott's Mint Slice biscuits, you can use any peppermint flavoured cooked you like.

    Where can I buy spearmint leaves?

    Great question! These are readily available in supermarkets (here in Australia) particularly in the lead up to Christmas. If you can't find spearmint leaves, you can use any soft jellies or lolly snakes.

    Can I make this without a Thermomix?

    Sure thing! Use a food processor or blender to make the biscuit/cheesecake mixture and then melt the chocolate on the stovetop or in the microwave.

    Equipment

    • Thermomix

    Ingredients

    • 200 g Arnotts Mint Slice biscuits
    • 250 g cream cheese softened
    • 200 g milk chocolate or dark chocolate
    • 20 red Smarties or M&Ms
    • 20 peppermint leaf lollies halved

    Instructions

    • Line a baking tray (or large plate) with baking paper and set aside until needed.
    • Place the Mint Slice biscuits into the Thermomix bowl and blitz for 5 seconds, Speed 7.
    • Add the softened cream cheese and mix for 10 seconds, Speed 5 or until combined (use the spatula through the MC hole to help mix).
      Chill the mixture in the freezer for 30 minutes (this will make it much easier to roll into balls).
    • Roll heaped teaspoons of the mixture into balls and place onto the prepared tray.
      Chill the balls in the freezer for a further 30 minutes.
    • Place the chocolate into a clean and dry Thermomix bowl. Melt for 3 minutes, 50 degrees, Speed 2. Pour the melted chocolate into a small and deep ramekin or bowl.
    • Remove the balls from the freezer. One by one, poke a skewer into the bottom of the balls, then dip into the melted chocolate.
    • Place back onto the tray and decorate by adding one red Smartie or M&M plus two halved pieces of spearmint leaves. Repeat until all the balls are coated and decorated.
    • Store in the fridge until needed.
