Ingredients
115 g cream cheese
60 g powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup cotton candy
6 puff pastry squares or wonton wrappers
2 cups vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
1. In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Chill the mixture for at least 15 minutes.
2. Scoop a small ball of the chilled cheesecake mixture and quickly wrap it in a fluffy layer of cotton candy.
3. Place the wrapped ball onto a puff pastry square or wonton wrapper and fold tightly, sealing the edges with water.
4. Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the bombs until golden brown, turning as needed.
5. Drain on paper towels, let cool slightly, and serve warm with optional powdered sugar or chocolate drizzle.
Notes
Serve them warm for the best texture and flavor.
Use fresh, airy cotton candy—it wraps more easily.
Wonton wrappers make for crispier, thinner shells than puff pastry.
