Description
Crispy Cotton Candy Cheesecake Bombs are a delightful treat that combines the creamy texture of cheesecake with the fun flavor of cotton candy, all wrapped in a crispy coating.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup cotton candy, chopped
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup crispy rice cereal
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- Extra cotton candy for garnish
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the chopped cotton candy until evenly distributed.
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form the cream cheese mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the cheesecake balls for at least 1 hour until firm.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and coconut oil together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and crispy rice cereal.
- Dip each frozen cheesecake ball into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, then roll in the graham cracker and crispy rice mixture until fully coated.
- Return the coated cheesecake bombs to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Once all are coated, place them back in the freezer for 30 minutes to set.
- Before serving, garnish with extra cotton candy on top of each bomb.
Notes
- For a fun twist, try using flavored cotton candy, such as strawberry or blue raspberry, to change the taste profile.
- You can also drizzle some melted chocolate over the top for an extra touch of sweetness.
