Ingredients
Filling
- 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened Ensure it’s at room temperature for easy mixing.
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar Can be replaced with powdered sugar for smoother consistency.
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Use pure vanilla for the best flavor.
- 1 cup Cotton Candy-Flavored Yogurt Plain yogurt mixed with cotton candy flavoring can be used as a substitute.
- 1 cup Crushed Graham Crackers Store-bought or homemade work well.
Coating and Frying
- 1 cup Melted Chocolate White or milk chocolate works well.
- Vegetable Oil for frying Heat until it reaches 350°F.
- Cotton Candy for decoration Add fresh right before serving.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and cotton candy-flavored yogurt until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Fold in the crushed graham crackers and spread the mixture evenly in the bowl to chill.
Shaping and Frying
- Once the filling is chilled, scoop portions using a tablespoon and roll them into golf ball-sized bombs.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F using a thermometer.
- Fry the bombs until golden brown, around 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove the bombs with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Coating
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl for about 30 seconds, stirring halfway.
- Dip each bomb into the melted chocolate until fully coated and place on a cooling rack.
- Top with cotton candy while the chocolate is still warm.
Notes
For added flavor, mix in sprinkles into the cheesecake filling. Customize colors of the chocolate coating and serve in mini cupcake liners for flair.
