½ tsp cotton candy flavoring
¼ cup whipped topping
2 tbsp heavy cream

For the Dough and Frying:
1 package refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)

½ tsp cotton candy flavoring (optional)
Pink food coloring (optional)
Blue food coloring (optional)

For Garnish (Optional):
Cotton candy pieces
Powdered sugar
Whipped cream or white chocolate drizzle

In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until completely smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cotton candy flavoring. Continue mixing until fully incorporated.
Fold in the whipped topping and heavy cream until the filling becomes light, fluffy, and smooth.
Cover the filling and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
Lightly dust a clean work surface with all-purpose flour.
Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough into individual biscuits.
Using a rolling pin, roll each biscuit into a thin circle approximately 4 to 5 inches wide.
Remove the chilled filling from the refrigerator.
Scoop 1 to 2 tablespoons of filling and shape it into a small ball.
Place a filling ball in the center of each biscuit circle.
Carefully pull the dough edges up and around the filling, pinching tightly to completely seal.
Gently roll each filled biscuit between your hands until smooth and round.

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and dice them into approximately 1/2-inch cubes.
