Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 recipe Homemade Pizza Dough (or store-bought dough)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Chocolate sauce or chocolate whipped cream (optional)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a mini muffin tin (24 cups) with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, egg, sour cream, and 3 tablespoons sugar until smooth. Portion 1 tablespoon of the cheesecake mixture into each of the mini muffin tins.
  • Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until just beginning to set. Remove from oven and cool completely.
  • Run a spoon around each muffin tin, and remove cheesecake. Roll each mini cheesecake into a ball and set back in it's tin until you're ready to stuff the dough.
  • Portion pizza dough into 24 pieces, and roll each piece of dough into a ball. Flatten one dough ball into a disc. Place a cheesecake ball in the center of the dough, and then pinch the dough closed around the cheesecake to form a ball. Make sure all the seams are sealed. Repeat with remaining pizza dough and cheesecake.
  • In a small bowl, mix together cinnamon and sugar. Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar until well coated. Place the dough ball onto a Sil-Pat or parchment paper lined baking sheet, spacing the dough balls about 1-inch apart.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until dough has cooked through and cinnamon-sugar forms a light crust. Remove from the oven and let sit for at least 5 minutes before serving. The filling will be hot!
  • Serve warm or at room temperature. Our boys like to dip their bombs in chocolate sauce, and I like them dipped in chocolate whipped cream.
