Ingredients

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 crushed Oreo cookies

Batter

  • 1 cup pancake mix
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Oreos

  • 15–20 whole Oreo cookies

For Frying

  • 3–4 cups vegetable oil (for deep frying)

Garnish (Optional)

  • Crushed Oreos
  • Powdered sugar
  • Chocolate or caramel drizzle

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Fold in crushed Oreo cookies. Set aside.

Step 2: Stuff the Oreos

Twist each Oreo apart. Spread a small dollop of cheesecake mixture on one half, then reassemble and press gently.
Place stuffed Oreos on a tray and freeze for 10–15 minutes to firm up.

Step 3: Prepare the Batter

In a separate bowl, whisk together pancake mix, milk, egg, and vegetable oil until smooth and lump-free.

Step 4: Heat the Oil

In a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain consistent temperature.

Step 5: Coat and Fry

Dip each stuffed Oreo into the batter, coating completely.
Carefully drop into hot oil and fry for 2–3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Dust with powdered sugar, sprinkle with crushed Oreos, and drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy immediately!

Tips for Success

  • Freeze the stuffed Oreos: This helps them hold together during frying.
  • Use a deep-fry thermometer: Keeping the oil at 350°F ensures crisp, non-greasy results.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pot: Fry in small batches to maintain temperature.
  • Customize the filling: Add a splash of almond extract or swap in flavored Oreos for a twist.

Serving Ideas

  • Serve with vanilla ice cream for a sundae-style dessert
  • Add to a dessert board with fruit, brownies, and dipping sauces
  • Pair with milkshakes or iced coffee for a fun treat

Storage

  • Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days
  • Reheat in an air fryer or oven to restore crispiness
  • Not recommended for freezing once fried
