Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In a bowl, beat together 225 g cream cheese, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This will create a soft and sweet cheesecake mixture.
2️⃣ Shape the Cheesecake Balls
- Take small portions of the cheesecake mixture and roll them into mini balls using your hands. The size can be around 1 inch in diameter, but feel free to adjust to your preference.
- Arrange the balls on a plate and chill them in the freezer for 15-20 minutes. This helps the cheesecake balls firm up, making them easier to dip in the chocolate later.
3️⃣ Prepare the Coating
- While the cheesecake balls are chilling, melt 1.5 cups of white chocolate using a double boiler. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
- In a separate small bowl, crush 1/3 cup of cookies (Lotus, Petibör, or Oreos without filling) into fine crumbs. This will add a crunchy, flavorful coating to the cheesecake balls.
4️⃣ Coat the Cheesecake Balls
- Once the cheesecake balls are firm, dip each one into the melted white chocolate, making sure to cover it completely. The chocolate will create a smooth, creamy layer around the cheesecake.
- After dipping in the white chocolate, roll the cheesecake balls in the crushed cookie crumbs. This adds a delicious crunch and extra flavor to each bite.
5️⃣ Decorate with Cotton Candy or Sprinkles
- Finally, decorate the cheesecake bombs with cotton candy or colorful sprinkles. If using cotton candy, add it right before serving, as it melts easily and can lose its fluffy texture.
6️⃣ Chill and Set
- Place the decorated cheesecake balls in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the white chocolate coating to harden.
- Once set, the cheesecake bombs are ready to be enjoyed!
✨ Serving
- Serve these cheesecake bombs cold for the best experience.
- Take a bite and enjoy the perfect combination of cheesecake creaminess, cotton candy sweetness, and crunchy coating!
📌 Tip
- For the best results, add the cotton candy right before serving, as it melts quickly and may lose its fluffiness over time.
These Crunchy Cotton Candy Cheesecake Bombs are a playful, indulgent treat that will surprise and delight with every bite. Perfect for anyone who loves the combination of creamy cheesecake, crispy coatings, and the sweetness of cotton candy!
