What better way is there to make friends than to buy their love and affection through some excellent baking! The other day an email went around that there would be an afternoon tea on Level 4 here at the ACCC and I thought – ‘This is my time to shine’.
I wanted to make something small and easy to eat – nothing too big, nothing that needed spoons, nothing that had complex flavour combinations … because that always makes people a little wary and could leave your baked treat sitting there on its lonesome.
So I thought and I thought and well, who doesn’t like cheesecake?
Baked Cheesecake Balls
500g Cream Cheese
½ cup sugar
3 large eggs
1 tbsp vanilla
250g dark cooking chocolate
25g copha
Cream together the cream cheese, sugar and 2 eggs with an electric mixer. Add the remaining egg and vanilla and continue mixing until you get a smooth consistence. Pour into a baking tray and bake for 25 minutes at 190 degrees Celsius.
Allow to cool before placing the fridge for 20 minutes to set.
Place the chocolate and copha in a microwavable bowl and heat on medium high for 1 minute. Remove and stir. Repeat this process until the chocolate and copha have melted together. Using a melon baller scoop out balls of cheesecake mix and dip them into the chocolate. Place the chocolate coated balls onto a tray lined with baking paper and when completed transfer them to the fridge to set overnight.
Serve and remember to let people know that you made them, so they will now be your friend.
