Method
- In a small bowl, combine your graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese on medium speed until super smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the sifted powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat on low speed until just combined, then increase to medium-high and beat until light and fluffy.
- In a separate, very cold bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold about two-thirds of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Then, carefully fold in the buttered graham cracker crumbs until just distributed.
- Gently tear small pieces of cotton candy and fold them into the cheesecake mixture. Add a tiny drop of gel food coloring if desired and fold until the color is evenly distributed.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of the mixture and roll them gently between your palms into small balls or spoon the mixture into mini muffin liners or silicone mini muffin molds.
- Transfer the formed bombs onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight.
- If coating, melt your white chocolate wafers or candy melts according to package directions. Dip each frozen bomb into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off. Add sprinkles or other decorations before the chocolate sets.
Notes
These cheesecake bombs can be customized with different flavors of cotton candy and decorations for any occasion.
