Ingredients
1 cheesecake (store-bought or homemade), cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 egg
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Chocolate sauce or berry sauce (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Freeze Cheesecake: Cut the cheesecake into bite-sized pieces and freeze them for at least 1 hour to firm them up.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until well combined.
- Make Batter: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
- Heat Oil: Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Coat Cheesecake: Dip each frozen cheesecake piece into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Fry Cheesecake: Carefully place the coated cheesecake pieces into the hot oil. Fry in batches for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and Serve: Remove the fried cheesecake pieces with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve: Dust the fried cheesecake with powdered sugar while still warm. Optionally, serve with chocolate sauce or berry sauce for dipping.
Notes
Ensure the cheesecake pieces are well-frozen before coating and frying to maintain their shape.
