  • Total Time: 90 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup whipped topping or heavy cream (whipped)
  • 1 ½ cups crushed vanilla sandwich cookies (Golden Oreos or similar)
  • 34 tbsp cream cheese (just enough to form a dough)
  • 1 cup pink cotton candy-flavored sugar or crushed pink sanding sugar
  • ½ cup finely crushed freeze-dried strawberries (optional)
  • ¼ cup pink sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the Cheesecake Centers: In a mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in whipped topping until airy. Form 1-inch balls and freeze for 20-30 minutes.
  2. Make the Cookie “Dough” Shell: Crush cookies into fine crumbs. Mix with cream cheese until it forms dough. Flatten a scoop of dough, place a frozen cheesecake ball in the center, wrap and roll into a ball.
  3. Coat in Cotton Candy Crunch: Mix cotton candy sugar, crushed strawberries, and sprinkles. Roll each bomb in the mixture until fully coated.
  4. Chill & Serve: Refrigerate cheesecake bombs for at least 1 hour. Serve chilled.

Notes

For best flavor, use high-quality cream cheese and fresh strawberries. Explore flavor variations with different toppings.
