Hands up, those in New Zealand (and those with New Zealand Relatives) who have gotten their hot little hands on some of the Limited Edition ‘Jelly Tip’ chocolate and bikkies? If not, go out and buy yourself a bar/packet or three… Right. Now.
This stuff is special and I have sent my darling hubby out on a mercy dash on more than one occasion for some (because, you know – the baby wanted it)!
One of my fondest memories as a child were Summer days spent at the beach, followed by a car ride home and our favourite ice cream. For me this was always a ‘Jelly Tip’. So you can imagine I was excited to hear that Tip Top had joined with both and to bring us these delicious treats and (as above) hubby was straight out the door so I could fulfil memories of Summer, the beach and my childhood.
Everyone has been getting their ‘Jelly Tip’ on and enjoying, making and creating ways to enjoy even MORE these delicious treats. There have been ‘Jelly Tip’ bikkie ice cream sandwiches and this ‘Jelly Tip’ Cheesecake (sounds AMAZING).
Of course, I decided to get my own bake on (more like create, no actual baking involved) and these Jelly Tip Cheesecake Truffles were born. They make these bikkies even a little bit ‘more’ special, and are the perfect sweet treat for with a coffee (or to eat hiding under your desk / in a cupboard so you don’t have to share).
Have you tried the Griffins Jelly Tip Bikkies yet? What did you think? Anyone else have childhood memories come flooding back?
- 2 packets Griffins 'Jelly Tip' Bikkies
- 250 gram block Philadelphia Cream Cheese (or brand of your choice)
- Cocoa and/or Coconut for dusting
- Using a food processer blitz both packets of biscuits to a crumb (how fine is up to you)
- Add cream cheese and combine until it forms a ball
- Chill mixture in fridge for 30 minutes
- Roll teaspoonful's into balls and dust with cocoa and / or coconut, place on a baking tray
- Chill in freezer for a couple of hours
- * I got through my first packet when my food processer went on the blink. So I ended up chopping up the second packet. They still tasted great and added some more texture to the truffles
- ** I found it was easier to use biscuits from the freezer as the jelly part of the biscuit firmed up, making them easier to turn to a crumb
- *** Using a cold teaspoon and damp hands makes for easier rolling
YUM! These look so easy to make and I bet are super delicious!
Thanks Laura, they sure are. Best not eaten when on a diet – hahaha! 🙂
Lydia firstly, Congratulations with baby number 2 on the way, that’s just so beautiful and exciting.

Aw, thanks Danielle. Yes I think you do need some Jelly Tip bikkies, I hope you can get them over there soon. They are so yummy, best eaten frozen. Thanks for stopping by. I’m sorry we wont be seeing you on Foodie Fridays anymore but totally understand your reasons for having to ‘farewell it’ at this stage. xx
Wow, they look sooooo good! Thanks for the recipe and for sharing it the Sundays Down Under link up. Now I need to see if I can find those Jelly Tip chocolates!

Thanks Natasha. They really are, although you can use your favourite chocolate biscuit is as a substitute. Funny, that you just to try a Jelly Tip Bikkie – what did you think? Personally I think best eaten form the freezer xx
