Ingredients You’ll Need

½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or cotton candy flavoring for extra fun)
½ cup whipped topping or whipped cream

How to Make Crispy Cotton Candy Cheesecake Bombs

Make the cheesecake filling.
In a mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping until light and creamy.
Shape the centers.
Scoop small spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture and roll them into balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 30 minutes until firm.
Wrap in cotton candy.
Gently flatten pieces of cotton candy and wrap them around each chilled cheesecake ball, pressing lightly to seal. Handle quickly — cotton candy melts fast!
Add the crispy coating.
Roll each ball in crushed crispy cereal, candy bits, or sprinkles for a fun texture and colorful crunch.
Chill again for 10–15 minutes before serving for best texture.

Tips for Perfect Cheesecake Bombs

Keep your hands dry when handling cotton candy to prevent melting.
Freeze the centers well so they’re easy to wrap.
Experiment with flavored cotton candy or different coatings for unique twists.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days (in a sealed container to prevent moisture).

Fun Ways to Serve

Serve them on skewers or mini dessert cups for parties.
Use different colors of cotton candy for themed celebrations.
Add a drizzle of white chocolate for an elegant finish.
