fried mac and cheese balls cheesecake factory

I am making these now, i didn't have the cheeses i wanted but it is still relatively good. They made a white cheese sauce, then added two white cheeses and a yellow one to that mix. I just don't know how much of each.ĭid anyone see the episode of Unwrapped where they went to the Cheesecake factory and showed them making them? I've been trying to find that episode on the net and can't find it. They said its White Cheddar, Fontina, and Jack cheeses. I simply called the Cheesecake factory and asked. I just wanted to say i've had Fried mac and cheese at cheesecake a few times and think the cheeses they may use are mozzarella and fontina

They only look like ziti because of the ridges, the type that is used here has the ridges in them just like ziti does. I thought last time I had them at the restaurant, they used ziti instead of the pasta they have listed here. All the other recipes I've found haven't come close. I will try them out this weekend, I live abroad now and am craving Cheesecake Factory's macoroni balls.

Has anyone tried this recipe that can report on the results? I'm on a mission to try to recreate those Mac-and-cheese balls from Cheesecake Factory, and this DOES look deliciously close!
