White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Balls, Irresistible Bite-Sized Treats! 💕
These decadent cheesecake balls are filled with creamy raspberry-flavored cheesecake and coated in luscious white chocolate. Perfect for parties, gifts, or when you need a little sweet indulgence!
Ingredients:
8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup raspberry jam
1/2 cup crushed graham crackers (or digestive biscuits)
12 oz (340g) white chocolate, melted
1/4 cup freeze-dried raspberries, crushed (optional for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture:
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
2. Add Raspberry Flavor:
Stir in the raspberry jam until fully combined.
3. Thicken the Mixture:
Mix in the crushed graham crackers (or biscuits) until the mixture thickens slightly and is easier to handle.
4. Chill:
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1–2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to roll into balls.
5. Roll the Balls:
Scoop out small portions of the cheesecake mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll into smooth balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.
6. Coat in White Chocolate:
Dip each ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Use a fork to lift them out and let the excess chocolate drip off. Place them back onto the parchment-lined sheet.

Sprinkle crushed freeze-dried raspberries on top while the chocolate is still wet for a pop of color and flavor. Let the balls set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens.
8. Serve and Enjoy:

2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 tsp mint extract
For the Mint Chocolate Ganache:
1 cup heavy cream
8 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 tsp mint extract
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.

1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
¼ cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
3 large eggs
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
½ cup (120ml) buttermilk
¼ cup (60ml) vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup (120ml) boiling water
For the Dark Chocolate Mousse:
4 oz (115g) dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped

2 tbsp powdered sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
For the Milk Chocolate Mousse:

2 tbsp powdered sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract

1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, cold
2 tbsp powdered sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
For Garnish:
Shaved chocolate or cocoa powder
Fresh berries (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Chocolate Cake Base:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until smooth. Stir in the boiling water (the batter will be thin).
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Dark Chocolate Mousse:
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave. Let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gently fold the melted dark chocolate into the whipped cream until smooth. Set aside.
Make the Milk Chocolate Mousse:
Repeat the process with the milk chocolate. Melt the milk chocolate and fold it into whipped cream and powdered sugar until smooth.
Make the White Chocolate Mousse:
Melt the white chocolate and fold it into whipped cream and powdered sugar, just like the dark and milk chocolate mousse layers.
Assemble the Cake:
Once the chocolate cake is completely cool, slice it into two layers horizontally.
Place the bottom layer of cake in the center of a springform pan or a serving plate.
Start by spreading the dark chocolate mousse over the cake layer, smoothing it with a spatula.
Add the milk chocolate mousse on top of the dark chocolate mousse, followed by the white chocolate mousse layer.
Carefully layer the remaining cake on top of the mousse and press gently to compact the layers.
Chill the Cake:
Refrigerate the cake for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight, to allow the mousse to set completely.
Garnish and Serve:
Before serving, garnish the cake with shaved chocolate or cocoa powder, and fresh berries if desired.
Slice and serve chilled for a delightful chocolate experience.
Tips:
Make Ahead: This cake is perfect for making a day ahead. The mousse needs time to set, and the flavors meld together beautifully when chilled overnight.
Customizable Flavors: Feel free to add a hint of coffee or liqueur (like Baileys or Kahlua) to the mousse for an extra twist of flavor.
Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
This Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake is a dream come true for chocolate lovers, with each mousse layer offering its own velvety texture and rich chocolate flavor. Enjoy every bite of this indulgent, melt-in-your-mouth dessert! 🍫🎂

Ingredients
For the 1st Set of Sponge Cakes:
20 grams (1 heaped tablespoon) butter
4 eggs, separated
115 grams (1/2 cup) caster sugar (superfine)
60 grams (1/2 cup) self-raising flour
75 grams (2/3 cup) hazelnut meal (ground hazelnuts)
For the 2nd Set of Sponge Cakes:
20 grams (1 heaped tablespoon) butter

75 grams (2/3 cup) hazelnut meal (ground hazelnuts)
For the Nutella Cream:
800 ml cream
200 grams (1 cup) Nutella
For Decoration:
Ferrero Rocher chocolates or chocolate shards
Instructions
Prepare the First Set of Sponge Cakes:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line two 18cm (7 inch) round cake tins.
In a small bowl, place 20 grams of butter with 2 tablespoons of boiling water and leave it to melt.
In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites using a hand or stand mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add 115 grams of sugar, a little at a time, and continue to beat until the mixture is thick and glossy.
Beat in the egg yolks one at a time, ensuring each yolk is well incorporated before adding the next.
Sift 60 grams of self-raising flour over the mixture along with 75 grams of hazelnut meal. Fold through the mixture using a metal spoon.
Add the melted butter and water mixture and fold through the sponge mixture.
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake tins, smoothing the tops with a spoon. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Leave the cakes in the tins for 5 minutes, then remove from the tins and cool on a wire rack.
Prepare the Second Set of Sponge Cakes:
Repeat the above steps to make the second set of two sponge cakes.
Prepare the Nutella Cream:
In a large bowl, beat the cream using a hand or stand mixer until thickened.
Add the Nutella and continue to beat until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and whipped.
Assemble the Cake:
Place the bottom sponge layer on a serving plate or cake stand and spread with Nutella cream.
Add the next sponge layer on top and spread with more Nutella cream. Repeat this process with the remaining sponge layers.
Spread Nutella cream over the top of the cake and around the sides for a "naked" look.
Decorate the top of the cake with Ferrero Rocher chocolates or chocolate shards.
Chill and Serve:
Place the assembled cake in the fridge to firm up the cream for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
This recipe makes four sponge cakes; do not attempt to make all four at once as it may not turn out well. Prepare them in two sets as instructed.
All measurements are in Australian metric standard.
The cake is best served fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to a few days.
Enjoy your Hazelnut Sponge with Nutella Cream Birthday Cake!
