Step 2
Put cheetos puffs and extra flaming hot cheetos in a food processor and grind them well. (Grind them separately.) Next, make an egg wash with 1/4 cup of heavy cream and 1/4 cup of water. After this, when your macaroni is nice and firm, start shaping them by rolling them using your hands and slightly squishing them. After forming the mac and cheese, toss it in a bowl of flour, then into the egg wash, and lastly to the ground cheetos. Place them in the freezer until they’re firm. After freezing them, deep-fry them for two minutes at 350 degrees F. After frying, cut them in half and serve with some more cheese on the side as a dip.
