How to Make Churro Cheesecake Deep Fried Oreos
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 package of Oreo cookies (regular size)
- 1 cup of milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 cup cinnamon sugar (for coating)
- Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade, optional)
Directions
Step 1: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Oreo Cookies
Carefully separate the Oreo cookies and gently scrape off the filling. Spread a layer of the cheesecake filling onto one half of each cookie, then sandwich them back together.
Step 3: Prepare the Batter
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the egg, milk, and vanilla to the dry ingredients, and stir until smooth.
Step 4: Fry the Oreos
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Dip each stuffed Oreo into the batter and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Step 5: Coat with Cinnamon Sugar
Toss the fried Oreos in cinnamon sugar until fully coated.
Step 6: Serve
Arrange on a plate and serve with caramel sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
