Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
Start by beating the softened cream cheese in a medium bowl until it’s smooth and creamy. Add in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Finally, gently fold in the crushed Oreos. This will give the filling a delightful cookies-and-cream flavor that’s simply to die for.
2. Assemble the Oreos
Take a spoon or a small ice cream scoop and place a small dollop of the cheesecake filling on top of each Oreo cookie. Carefully press another Oreo on top to create a sandwich. Repeat this process with the remaining Oreos, making sure each one is filled with that delicious cheesecake mixture.
3. Prepare the Coating
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until they’re fully combined. Now, dip each Oreo sandwich into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and back into the flour mixture to coat them thoroughly. This double-coating technique ensures a crispy and golden exterior when fried.
4. Fry the Oreos
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Make sure there’s enough oil to fully submerge the Oreos. Carefully place the coated Oreos into the hot oil, frying a few at a time without overcrowding the pot. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crispy. Once done, use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried Oreos to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
