Ingredients:

For the Cheesecake Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup sour cream

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup crushed Oreo cookies

For the Oreos:

1 package of regular Oreos (or your favorite variety)

For the Batter:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1 large egg

1 cup milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

For Frying:

Vegetable oil (for frying)

For Toppings:

Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Extra crushed Oreo cookies (optional)

Directions:

1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.

Add the granulated sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies until evenly distributed. Set aside.

2. Prepare the Oreos:

Using a small spoon or a piping bag, carefully stuff each Oreo with the cookies & cream cheesecake filling. Ensure the filling is evenly distributed and smooth on the sides.

3. Prepare the Batter:

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In another bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and vanilla extract.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.

4. Fry the Oreos:

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).

Dip each stuffed Oreo into the batter, making sure it is fully coated.

Carefully drop the battered Oreos into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.

5. Serve:

Dust the deep-fried Oreos with powdered sugar.

Optionally, sprinkle with extra crushed Oreo cookies for added flavor and texture.

Tips:

Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature to prevent the Oreos from becoming soggy or undercooked.

For a fun twist, you can dip the fried Oreos in chocolate or caramel sauce before serving.
