Ingredients:

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup confectioners sugar
Half of an 8-ounce tub of whipped topping such as Cool Whip, plus more for garnish
3-4 tablespoons Duplin Cotton Candy blush
3-5 drops red food coloring
Blue or pink cotton candy

Directions:

Place cream cheese and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl.
Using a mixer set at medium speed, blend cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until well combined.
Using a spatula, fold in whipped topping.
Add Duplin Cotton Candy blush a tablespoon at a time until mixture is the consistency of soft frosting.
Stir in a few drops of red food coloring to tint the mixture pink.
Load cream cheese mixture into a piping bag or a zip-top baggie with a small hole cut in one of the bottom corners.
Pipe the mixture into 8 to 10 large shot glasses (1½-ounce shot glasses).
Garnish each shot glass with a dollop of whipped topping and a tuft of blue or pink cotton candy. Do not add the cotton candy until just before serving.
Serve cheesecake shots with mini-spoons.
