Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (1 cup) full-fat cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp heavy cream, chilled
- 24 regular Oreo cookies
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cubed
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (plus extra for coating)
- 3 large eggs, room temp
- 6–8 cups vegetable oil (for deep frying)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon (for coating)
- Caramel sauce (optional)
- Chocolate fudge sauce (optional)
- Dulce de leche (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare cheesecake filling: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth. Add heavy cream and mix until thick. Transfer to a piping bag.
- Prep Oreos: Twist each Oreo open, remove cream filling, and pipe 1-1.5 tbsp cheesecake filling onto one wafer. Replace with the other half and repeat for all.
- Freeze stuffed Oreos: Place on a parchment-lined sheet and freeze for 2-3 hours or overnight.
- Make churro batter: Heat water, butter, sugar, and salt in a pan until boiling. Stir in flour and cinnamon to form a dough.
- Cook the dough: Return dough to heat, stirring for 1-2 minutes. Let cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Combine eggs: Beat in eggs one at a time until mixture is thick and glossy.
- Prepare frying station: Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep pot.
- Prepare cinnamon sugar coating: Mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a dish.
- Fry Oreos: Dip each frozen Oreo in batter and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Coat and serve: Roll hot Oreos in cinnamon sugar and serve warm with optional dipping sauces.
Notes
Ensure to freeze the Oreos before frying to prevent leaking filling. Monitor oil temperature for best results.
