Ingredients
Scale
- 10–12 Oreo cookies
- 4 oz (1/2 cup) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup pancake mix
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg
- Oil, for frying
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Stuff the Oreos: Gently twist each Oreo cookie apart. Add a small dollop of the cheesecake filling to one side of the cookie. Press the other cookie half back on to sandwich the filling. Repeat for all the Oreos.
- Make the Batter: In another bowl, mix the pancake mix, milk, and egg until smooth and lump-free.
- Heat the Oil: Fill a heavy-bottomed pot with about 2-3 inches of oil. Heat over medium heat until the oil reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
- Dip and Fry: Dip each stuffed Oreo into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Carefully place the Oreo in the hot oil. Fry for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Fry a few at a time but avoid overcrowding the pot.
- Drain and Dust: Remove the fried Oreos with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil. While still warm, dust with powdered sugar.
- Serve: Enjoy warm with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat!
Notes
Use a candy thermometer to maintain oil at 350°F for even frying. Fry in small batches to keep oil temperature stable. Serve immediately for the best texture.
