How to Make Cookies & Cream Cheesecake Deep Fried Oreos
Ingredients:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 Oreo cookies, crushed into small pieces
- 1 package of Oreo cookies (regular or double-stuffed)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 cup cold milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Whipped cream for dipping (optional)
Directions:
Step 1: Prepare the Cookies & Cream Cheesecake Filling.
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Fold in the crushed Oreo pieces. Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each Oreo cookie with the cheesecake mixture. Make sure to press the filling in firmly and spread evenly.
Step 2: Make the Batter.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add the egg, cold milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth and slightly thick, but pourable.
Step 3: Fry the Oreos.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C). Dip the filled Oreos into the batter, coating them completely. Carefully drop the battered Oreos into the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the fried Oreos with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Step 4: Serve.
Once all the Oreos are fried, dust them with powdered sugar. Optionally, serve with whipped cream and extra crushed Oreos for dipping. Enjoy!
