The Secret Behind Chicken Alfredo Little Caesars Crazy Puffs

To get that legendary, caramelized cheese crown, you need to let the shredded cheese spill over the tops of your dough cups just a tiny bit. For these Chicken Alfredo Little Caesars Crazy Puffs, we use a generous blend of low-moisture mozzarella and fresh parmesan. As the muffin tin heats up in the oven, the escaping cheese fries against the hot metal, forming a gorgeous, golden-brown crispy border that mimics the bakery style perfectly.

Master the Dough for Chicken Alfredo Little Caesars Crazy Puffs

Working with the dough is where the magic begins. You can absolutely use a store-bought fresh pizza dough, but stretching it thin enough to properly line the muffin cups is key. For our Chicken Alfredo Little Caesars Crazy Puffs, we divide the dough into twelve equal portions, gently press them into a heavily greased tin, and brush the interiors with rich garlic butter before adding any fillings.

A spectacular copycat recipe relies entirely on the quality of its sauce. While a jarred white sauce works when you are in a rush, whisking up a quick cream sauce with heavy cream, butter, and freshly grated parmesan elevates these Chicken Alfredo Little Caesars Crazy Puffs to gourmet status. The sauce needs to be thick and velvety so it does not make the underlying dough soggy during baking.
