Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
Cream Cheese: Use full-fat cream cheese for an ultra-creamy filling that melts in your mouth.
Sugar: Granulated sugar adds sweetness; adjust according to your taste.
Vanilla Extract: A splash of pure vanilla extract enhances the flavor profile beautifully.
Eggs: Eggs help bind everything together and add richness to the filling.
Flour: All-purpose flour is used for the batter—it’s versatile and readily available.
Milk: Whole milk helps achieve the right batter consistency while adding moisture.
Cinnamon: A pinch of cinnamon gives a warm spice note to balance the sweetness.
Oil for Frying: Choose a neutral oil like canola or vegetable oil for frying—hot enough to create a crispy texture without burning.
The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.
Let’s Make it Together
Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no lumps left behind—it should be velvety!
Blend Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix flour, milk, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined. The batter should be thick yet pourable—like pancake batter but with an attitude!
Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about two inches of oil over medium heat until hot (around 350°F or 175°C). You want it sizzling but not smoking—cooking oil tantrums are not cute.
Dip and Fry Cheesecake Balls: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the cheesecake filling into the batter before gently placing them into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes), turning occasionally for even cooking.
Drain and Cool Down: Once perfectly browned, remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and let excess oil drain on paper towels. Allow them to cool slightly before serving—I know it’s hard to wait!
Serve With Style!: Plate your fried cheesecakes with powdered sugar dusting on top or drizzle some chocolate syrup if you’re feeling extra fancy! Serve immediately while they’re warm and irresistible.
Now gather those forks and plates because you’re about to enjoy one of life’s simplest pleasures: fried cheesecake!
And just like that, you’ve transformed ordinary ingredients into an extraordinary dessert that will have everyone raving about your culinary skills!
