  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

– 8 oz softened cream cheese

– Β½ cup powdered sugar

– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

– Β½ teaspoon cotton candy extract

– ΒΌ cup whipped topping

– 2 tablespoons heavy cream

– 1 package of refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)

– 4 cups vegetable oil for frying

– 1 cup granulated sugar for coating

– Β½ teaspoon cotton candy flavoring for coating

– Optional: pink and blue food coloring for coating

Instructions

1-Getting started with Crispy Cotton Candy Cheesecake Bombs is all about following a few clear steps to build those tasty layers. Begin by mixing the filling: combine 8 oz softened cream cheese, Β½ cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, Β½ teaspoon cotton candy extract, ΒΌ cup whipped topping, and 2 tablespoons heavy cream in a bowl until smooth. Chill this mixture for 30 minutes to make it easier to handle and keep everything sealed tight.

2-Next, take your one package of refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count) and roll it out to about β…› inch thickness on a clean surface. Cut or shape the dough into rounds, then place 1 2 tablespoons of the chilled filling in the center of each round. Seal the edges with a bit of water to stop any leaks, and roll them into smooth spheres for even frying.

3-Now, heat 4 cups of vegetable oil in a pot until it reaches 350Β°F (175Β°C). Fry 2 3 bombs at a time for 1 2 minutes per side until they turn golden brown, then drain them on paper towels. For the coating, mix 1 cup granulated sugar with Β½ teaspoon cotton candy flavoring and optional pink and blue food coloring. Roll the warm bombs in this mixture right away, then let them cool slightly before adding extras like a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of white chocolate, or fresh cotton candy pieces on top.

Notes

🌑️ Maintain oil temperature at 350°F for perfectly crispy exterior and fully cooked interior
