Crispy Cotton Candy Cheesecake Bombs

5. Assemble with cotton candy:
6. Working quickly, flatten a piece of cotton candy slightly on a clean surface. Place a chilled cheesecake ball in the center, then wrap the cotton candy around it completely, pressing gently to seal. Cotton candy melts easily from moisture, so handle with dry hands and wrap just before serving or chilling again.
7. Coat for crispiness: Roll each cotton candy-covered cheesecake ball lightly in crushed crispy cereal or wafer crumbs to add a subtle crunch and to help protect the cotton candy exterior. This thin coating also gives the bombs an appealing texture contrast when bitten into.
8. Chill and serve: Return the finished cheesecake bombs to the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to let them set. Serve chilled on a dessert tray or as individual treats in mini cupcake liners. Each bite should reveal a creamy, cotton-candy-flavored center surrounded by a soft, melt-in-your-mouth shell and a whisper of crispness.

Storage Tips

Store the cheesecake bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Cotton candy tends to dissolve if exposed to humidity, so for the best texture, prepare them as close to serving time as possible. For a firmer bite, freeze the bombs for up to one week and thaw briefly before enjoying.

These colorful and creamy cheesecake bombs are a delightful fusion of childhood nostalgia and classic dessert flavor—an irresistible treat that brings a touch of magic to any gathering.
