Cookies & Cream Cheesecake Deep-Fried Oreos: A Sweet, Crispy Delight


  • Author: Hannah

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 Oreo cookies (or more, depending on serving size)

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • ½ cup powdered sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 cup whole milk

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for the batter)

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (for coating)

  • Vegetable oil, for frying

  • Additional powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)


Instructions

  • Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

    • In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.

    • Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

    • Fold in crumbled Oreo cookies (reserve a few for topping if desired). Set aside.

  • Stuff the Oreos:

    • Carefully separate each Oreo cookie and remove the cream filling.

    • Place about 1 tsp of the cream cheese mixture in the center of one Oreo half.

    • Place the other half of the Oreo back on top, gently pressing to sandwich the cream cheese filling inside. Repeat with the rest of the Oreos.

  • Prepare the Frying Batter:

    • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

    • In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in milk and vanilla extract.

    • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until you have a smooth batter. It should be thick enough to coat the Oreos.

  • Heat the Oil:

    • Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there’s enough oil to submerge the Oreos.

  • Fry the Stuffed Oreos:

    • Dip each stuffed Oreo into the batter, making sure it’s fully coated.

    • Carefully lower the battered Oreo into the hot oil, frying for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

    • Use a slotted spoon to remove the Oreos from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

 

  • Coat and Serve:

    • While the Oreos are still warm, roll them in granulated sugar.

    • For an extra sweet touch, dust with powdered sugar before serving.

    • Optional: Garnish with some of the reserved crumbled Oreos for extra flavor and texture.
