Description

Delightful bites featuring a crispy exterior and a creamy, sweet cotton candy filling, perfect for parties and gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cotton candy flavoring or cotton candy syrup
  • 1 cup whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers or vanilla cookies
  • 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup cotton candy crunch sprinkles or pastel candy bits

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the powdered sugar and cotton candy flavoring, mixing until everything is fully combined.
  3. Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix – you want the mixture to stay light and airy.
  4. Refrigerate the filling for 30–45 minutes to help it firm up enough to scoop.
  5. Once chilled, scoop about 1½ tablespoons of the filling and roll it into smooth balls.
  6. Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray.
  7. In a shallow bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, shredded coconut, and cotton candy crunch sprinkles.
  8. Roll each cheesecake ball in the coating, gently pressing to make sure it sticks evenly.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to set the texture.

Notes

For added flavor, consider experimenting with different flavorings or toppings.
