Ingredients
1 package of Oreo cookies
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar (plus extra for dusting)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup pancake mix
3/4 cup milk
1 egg
Oil for frying
Whipped cream or dipping sauce (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then mix until creamy.
- Spoon a layer of the cheesecake mixture around each Oreo, fully coating the cookie. Roll gently into a smooth ball. Place on a lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, milk, and egg until smooth.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Dip each frozen Oreo ball into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Carefully lower into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Remove fried Oreos with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Dust with powdered sugar while still warm and serve with whipped cream or dipping sauce for extra indulgence.
