- Yield: 12 1x
Description
Indulgent “Cookies & Cream Cheesecake Deep-Fried Oreos” blend classic American dessert magic with crispy, creamy sensations. Crisp golden exteriors give way to melted chocolate and rich cheesecake centers that invite pure dessert bliss.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 12 Oreo cookies
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 cup crushed Oreos
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Additional crushed Oreos, for sprinkling
Coating and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Craft a velvety cheesecake mixture by whipping cream cheese until silky smooth, then incorporate sugar and vanilla extract, blending until perfectly integrated. Gently fold crushed Oreos into the creamy base, creating a speckled decadent filling.
- Construct Oreo sandwiches by carefully spooning the cheesecake mixture onto individual cookies, then delicately pressing a matching Oreo on top to form elegant sandwich-style treats.
- Prepare a crispy coating by whisking flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in one container. In a separate vessel, thoroughly combine egg and milk. Methodically dredge each Oreo sandwich first in flour mixture, then egg mixture, and return to flour for complete coverage.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to precisely 350°F, ensuring sufficient depth to fully submerge the cookies. Strategically lower coated Oreo sandwiches into hot oil, working in small batches to maintain optimal temperature. Fry until achieving a rich golden-brown exterior, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Remove fried delicacies using a slotted spoon, transferring to paper towels to absorb excess oil. Finish by dusting with powdered sugar and optionally sprinkling additional crushed Oreos for textural contrast. Serve immediately while warm and crisp.
Notes
- Opt for room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth, lump-free filling that blends seamlessly with crushed Oreos.
- Chill the Oreo sandwiches for 15-20 minutes before coating to help the cheesecake filling set and prevent it from leaking during frying.
- Use a candy thermometer to maintain consistent oil temperature, preventing soggy or burnt deep-fried Oreos.
- Create gluten-free variations by substituting all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend or almond flour for those with dietary restrictions.
