Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup crushed Oreos
For the Coating and Frying:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 12 Oreo cookies
For the Garnish:
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Additional crushed Oreos (optional, for sprinkling)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
Start by beating the softened cream cheese in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Add granulated sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. Fold in the crushed Oreos for that cookies-and-cream flavor.
Step 2: Assemble the Oreos
Spoon a small amount of cheesecake filling onto each Oreo, then sandwich it with another Oreo on top. Repeat until all your Oreos are filled.
Step 3: Prepare the Coating
In one bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the egg and milk together. First, dip each Oreo sandwich in the dry mixture, then in the wet mixture, and again in the dry mixture to ensure a thick, crispy coating.
Step 4: Fry the Oreos
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the Oreos for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the Oreos to a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess oil.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Once the Oreos have drained, dust them with powdered sugar and sprinkle crushed Oreos on top if desired. Serve warm for the best experience!
Tips for Success
- Double-Coating for Extra Crispiness: Ensure the Oreos are well-coated by dipping them twice in the flour and egg mixture.
- Use Softened Cream Cheese: This makes the filling easier to mix and spread.
- Don’t Overcrowd While Frying: Fry a few Oreos at a time to maintain the oil temperature and ensure even cooking.
