How to Make Cookies & Cream Cheesecake Deep-Fried Oreos
Ingredients:
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp crushed Oreo cookies
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 12-16 Oreo cookies
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Directions:
-
Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, crushed Oreo cookies, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Carefully twist apart the Oreo cookies and spread a small dollop of the cheesecake mixture onto one half. Press the other half back on top to reassemble the Oreo with the filling inside. Place the stuffed Oreos on a tray and freeze for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
-
Make the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, water, egg, sugar, baking powder, and salt until a smooth batter forms. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
-
Fry the Oreos: Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Dip each stuffed Oreo into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Carefully lower the coated Oreo into the hot oil. Fry 2-3 Oreos at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 1-2 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
-
Serve: Dust the fried Oreos with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish. Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, creamy cheesecake filling inside!
