Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cotton candy flavoring
  • 1 cup whipped cream

Crispy Shell

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Topping

  • Cotton candy sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In a bowl, thoroughly mix cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and cotton candy flavoring until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  2. Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to preserve the lightness and create a fluffy cheesecake filling.
  3. Make Crispy Shell Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand and holds together when pressed.
  4. Form the Base: Press a small amount of the crispy shell mixture into the bottom of each muffin tin cup to form a firm base for the cheesecake bombs.
  5. Add Cheesecake Filling: Spoon the prepared cheesecake filling evenly on top of each graham cracker crust base in the muffin tin.
  6. Top with Sprinkles: Evenly sprinkle cotton candy sprinkles over the cheesecake filling for a fun and colorful finish.
  7. Chill to Set: Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator and chill for at least one hour or until the cheesecake bombs are fully set and firm to the touch.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture and flavor.
  • Ensure the whipped cream is gently folded to keep the filling light and airy.
  • If you cannot find cotton candy flavoring, try using a small amount of cotton candy syrup or omit it for vanilla cheesecake.
  • Chilling time is essential to let the cheesecake bombs set properly.
  • These are no-bake and perfect for a quick and easy dessert.
