Time 2h55m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 5

25 milk chocolate topped butter cookies (such as Le Petit Ecolier), crushed
1 (8 ounce) container mascarpone cheese
⅓ cup Irish cream liqueur (such as Baileys®)
1 (9.7 ounce) package white chocolate, chopped
2 ounces dark chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Combine crushed cookies, mascarpone cheese, and Irish cream liqueur in a bowl; mix well.

Time 9h50m

Yield 90

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
¾ cup butter
4 cups vanilla wafer crumbs (such as Nilla®)
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup finely chopped pecans
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup ground almonds
¾ cup Irish cream liqueur (such as Baileys®)
½ cup sour cream
1 ½ pounds dark chocolate, chopped, or as needed

Steps:

  • Place chocolate chips and butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; stir until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat to cool slightly.
  • Whisk vanilla wafer crumbs, confectioner's sugar, pecans, cocoa powder, and almonds together in a large bowl; stir in Irish cream liqueur, sour cream, and chocolate mixture to form a soft dough. Cover mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • Form mixture into balls using a tablespoon-size cookie scoop; place on a baking sheet. Place baking sheet in the freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). Do not overheat or chocolate will scorch. Using a toothpick, dip each ball into melted chocolate to coat; place on waxed paper until chocolate is firm, about 10 minutes.
  • Place balls in candy cups; store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks.

  • If you don't have graham cracker crumbs, you can make your own by crushing graham crackers in a food processor or blender.
  • Be sure to chill the balls for at least 1 hour before serving. This will help them firm up and hold their shape.
  • You can decorate the balls with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or melted chocolate.
  • Store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
