Prep time: 15 mins | Chill time: 2 hours | Servings: 8–10 bombs
Ingredients
- The Cheesecake Filling:
- ¼ cup whipped topping.
- ½ cup powdered sugar.
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
- ½ teaspoon cotton candy extract or flavoring.
- The Outer Shell:
- Crispy cereal treats or crushed cookies (for the base).
- Pink and blue sanding sugar or crushed hard cotton candy (for the crispy coating).
Instructions
- Mix: In a medium bowl, fold together the whipped topping, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cotton candy flavoring until the mixture is light and smooth.
- Flavor: Ensure the cotton candy extract is well incorporated so the signature nostalgic flavor is present in every bite.
- Chill: Place the cheesecake mixture in the freezer for about 30–60 minutes to firm up slightly, making it easier to handle.
- Shape: Scoop small portions of the chilled mixture and roll them into balls.
- Coat: Immediately roll each cheesecake bomb into your pink and blue crispy coating until fully covered.
- Set: Place the finished bombs on a small graham cracker or cereal base and refrigerate for another hour to allow them to set completely.
