Ingredients
For the Oreo Cheesecake Filling:
- 12 Oreo cookies (cream removed)
- 120g cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
For the Batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- A pinch of salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Frying and Coating:
- Vegetable oil (for deep frying)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Oreo Cheesecake Mixture
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Take one teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture and sandwich it between two Oreo cookies to form a “filling.” Repeat with all cookies and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Batter
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix the egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth.
Step 3: Coat and Fry
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 180°C (350°F).
- Dip each prepared Oreo sandwich into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Carefully drop the coated Oreo into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
Step 4: Add the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating
- In a shallow bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
- While the fried Oreos are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Arrange the Fried Oreo Cheesecake Bites on a serving plate.
- Serve warm with whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for added indulgence.
Tips for Perfect Results
- Oil Temperature: Use a thermometer to maintain the oil temperature for even frying.
- Prep Ahead: Assemble the Oreo cheesecake sandwiches in advance and refrigerate to make the battering process smoother.
- Experiment with Flavors: Try using flavored Oreos or add a hint of zest to the cheesecake mixture for a unique twist!
