Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cheesecake Filling:
    • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
    • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • For the Coating:
    • 1 cup cotton candy, finely chopped
    • 1 cup crushed graham crackers
    • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup milk
    • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream. Beat until smooth and creamy.
  2. Using a small scoop, portion the cheesecake mixture into balls and freeze for at least 1 hour until firm.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, and egg to create a batter.
  4. Prepare a plate with a mixture of crushed graham crackers and finely chopped cotton candy.
  5. Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Dip each frozen cheesecake ball into the batter, then roll in the graham cracker and cotton candy mixture.
  7. Fry the coated balls in the hot oil for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.
  8. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels before serving.
