Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup cotton candy, crushed
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups cotton candy-flavored candy melts
- Oil for frying
- Additional crushed cotton candy for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and crushed cotton candy. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the filling for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- In another bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until combined.
- Gradually add the eggs, mixing until a dough starts to form.
- Scoop a small amount of dough, flatten it, and add a spoonful of cheesecake filling in the center. Wrap the dough around the filling and shape into a ball.
- Place the assembled cheesecake bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for about 15 minutes.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully drop the cheesecake bombs into the hot oil, frying in batches for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Melt the cotton candy-flavored candy melts according to package instructions. Dip each cheesecake bomb into the melted candy to fully coat.
- Sprinkle crushed cotton candy on top of each bomb before the coating sets.
- Let the candy coating harden for a few minutes before serving.
