Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package Oreos
- 1 package biscuit dough
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese
Coating and Filling:
- 1 1/4 cups (150 grams) powdered sugar
- 1 cup (100 grams) crushed Oreos
Liquid and Flavoring:
- 2–3 tablespoons (30–45 milliliters) milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons (7.5 milliliters) vanilla
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Blend cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth, then refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up the filling.
- Gently flatten each biscuit dough piece using gentle pressure to create a thin, even surface.
- Position an Oreo cookie in the center of each flattened dough circle, topping it with a dollop of chilled cream cheese mixture.
- Carefully fold and pinch the dough edges, completely encasing the Oreo and filling to create a sealed pocket.
- Preheat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to precisely 350°F, using a digital thermometer for accuracy.
- Carefully lower the sealed dough pockets into the hot oil, frying for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, turning once midway to ensure even cooking.
- Whisk powdered sugar with milk and vanilla extract until a smooth, pourable glaze forms, adjusting consistency as needed.
- Transfer fried treats to a wire rack, then generously drizzle with prepared glaze and sprinkle crushed Oreo cookies on top for added texture and visual appeal.
Notes
- Chill the cream cheese mixture thoroughly to ensure a thick, manageable filling that won’t leak during frying.
- Use room temperature biscuit dough for easier wrapping and better sealing around the Oreo and cream cheese filling.
- Maintain consistent oil temperature to prevent soggy or overly greasy treats; use a candy thermometer for precision.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular biscuits with gluten-free crescent roll dough or a similar alternative.
