Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Filling
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and silky.
- Stir in the powdered sugar, vanilla, and 1/2 teaspoon cotton candy flavoring until well combined.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping and heavy cream until the filling is light and fluffy.
- Pop the bowl into the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up.
Prep the Dough
- Separate the biscuits and lightly dust your work surface with the 2 tablespoons flour.
- Using a rolling pin or the heel of your hand, roll each biscuit into a thin round about the size of your palm.
Assemble
- Scoop 1 to 2 tablespoons of the chilled filling and roll it into a ball.
- Place the filling ball in the center of the flattened biscuit, bring the edges up, and pinch to seal completely.
- Roll the sealed bomb between your hands to make it smooth and round.
Heat Oil
- In a heavy pot or deep fryer, warm vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Keep the temperature steady to cook the bombs evenly without soaking up too much oil.
Fry
- Gently lower a few bombs into the hot oil — don’t overcrowd.
- Fry for about 1 to 2 minutes per side, turning carefully until they’re beautifully golden.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to paper towels to drain.
Coat
- In a shallow bowl, stir together the granulated sugar and optional 1/2 teaspoon cotton candy flavoring.
- While the bombs are still warm, roll them in the colored sugar until fully coated.
Serve
- Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted white chocolate and add a tuft of cotton candy on top just before serving.
Notes
Chill the filling well so it’s easy to form and stays put while frying. Keep oil temperature steady at 350°F to prevent greasy bombs.
