• Paper towels or wire rack (for draining)
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Piping bag or zip-top bag (optional, for cheesecake filling)

Ingredients

• 8 oz (225g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Coating

• 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon

Variations for Churro Cheesecake Deep Fried Oreos

• Add a Chocolate Center: Mix in mini chocolate chips with the cream cheese filling for extra richness.
• Use Flavored Oreos: Try Golden Oreos, Red Velvet, or Mint for fun flavor twists.
• Air Fryer Version: Skip deep-frying and try these in an air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 5–6 minutes. They won’t be as crispy, but still good.

How to Make Churro Cheesecake Deep Fried Oreos – Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a medium bowl, use a mixer to beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Transfer to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a corner cut off.

2. Fill the Oreos

Twist open each Oreo gently. Pipe a small amount of cheesecake filling onto one side.
Press the two cookie halves back together. Don’t overfill—you want them to close fully.
Place filled cookies on a tray and freeze for 10–15 minutes to firm up.

3. Mix the Batter

In another bowl, whisk pancake mix, milk, and vanilla extract until you have a smooth, slightly thick batter.
Let it rest for 5 minutes so it thickens a bit.

4. Heat the Oil

In a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
Use enough oil so the cookies can float and fry evenly.

5. Dip and Fry

Using a toothpick or fork, dip each chilled Oreo into the batter.
Make sure it’s coated well on all sides.
Carefully drop into hot oil and fry for 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
Work in batches to avoid overcrowding.

6. Drain and Coat

Use a slotted spoon to transfer fried Oreos to a paper towel-lined tray or wire rack.
While still warm, roll in a mixture of granulated sugar and cinnamon until fully coated.

Serving and Decoration

Serve warm, ideally within 10–15 minutes of frying.
These pair well with:

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream
• A drizzle of warm chocolate or dulce de leche
• A dusting of powdered sugar for extra charm

Optional: Stack them up and serve with toothpicks for a fun party-style platter.

toring Churro Cheesecake Deep Fried Oreos

• Short-Term: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day. They’re best fresh, but still edible later.
• Refrigerate: If filled with cream cheese, refrigerate within 2 hours. They’ll last 2–3 days, though the texture softens.
• To Reheat: Use an oven or toaster oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–6 minutes to bring back some crispness. Avoid microwaving—they’ll turn soggy.

Tips and Tricks for Success

• Freeze First: Always freeze the cheesecake-filled Oreos before dipping—they hold together better in hot oil.
• Don’t Crowd the Pan: Fry in small batches so the oil stays hot and the cookies cook evenly.
• Watch the Oil Temp: Keep the oil between 340°F–360°F. Too hot? They’ll burn outside, raw inside. Too cool? They’ll soak up oil and get greasy.
• Extra Crunch? Double dip the Oreos in batter for an even thicker shell.
• Want Smaller Portions? Cut Oreos in half and re-seal with a bit of filling before freezing.

Churro Cheesecake Deep Fried Oreos FAQs

Can I make these without cream cheese?
Yes, simply skip the cheesecake filling and follow the rest of the recipe for classic deep-fried Oreos with a churro twist.

Can I bake instead of fry?
For a healthier version, try using an air fryer at 375°F for about 5–6 minutes. They’ll be lighter and less crisp, but still tasty.

What’s the best oil for frying?
Use a neutral oil with a high smoke point—like vegetable, canola, or peanut oil.

Can I make them ahead of time?
You can prep and freeze the filled Oreos a day ahead. Fry them just before serving for best results.

Conclusion

I’ve made these churro cheesecake Oreos for game nights, birthday parties, and random snack cravings—and they always disappear fast. The crunchy outside, warm cookie middle, and creamy center just hit every craving at once. They’re fun to make, even more fun to eat, and worth every minute in the kitchen.
