OREO CHEESECAKE DOUGHNUTS

Oh my gosh. This cheesecake was absolutely amazing! It was literally the best thing that I've ever made. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out PERFECT! I made this for a foods project and my family loved it. It was so easy to make. I would think it would even be fun for children to make.

You really can't go wrong with this if you like Oreos and cheesecake! I did make some minor changes though. First the crust needs to be doubled, as is it barely covers a 9 inch springform pan. I also did 2 teaspoons of vanilla and 1 teaspoon of lemon and doubled (or so) the amount of Oreos in the batter. All in all I used a whole package of Oreos!

OREO CHEESECAKE DOUGHNUTS

PREP TIME: 15 mins

COOK TIME: 20 mins

TOTAL TIME: 35 mins

INGREDIENTS

Package of original refrigerated biscuits (8 count)

About 30 oz bottle of vegetable oil for frying

8 oz cream cheese

¼ cup white granulated sugar

2 Tbsp sour cream

2 Tbsp heavy cream

¾ cup powder sugar

2½ Tbsp heavy cream

10-12 Oreo cookies, finely chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

• Preheat oil in a fryer, dutch oven or a medium sauce pot to 340-350°F. (If using a pot on a stove top, I recommend a medium setting.)
• Beat cream cheese, sugar, sour cream and 2 Tbsp of heavy cream in a bowl for 2-3 minutes. Transfer cheesecake mixture into a piping bag fitted with a pastry filling tip. Set aside.
• Chop Oreo cookies and place them into a wide, shallow bowl. Set aside.
• In another wide and shallow bowl, whisk powder sugar and 2½ tbsp of heavy cream until smooth. Set aside.
• Open the can of refrigerated biscuits and carefully take them apart. Fry biscuits, 2-3 at a time, until golden brown. Flip to the other side and fry until that side is golden brown as well.
• Place some paper towels under a wire rack. Take out cooked doughnuts and place them on the wire rack to cool.
• Let doughnuts cool for a couple of minutes. Then, fill each doughnut with some cheesecake mixture from the piping bag.
• Dip each doughnut top in the glaze first and then, dip them in crushed Oreo cookies.
• Repeat with all the doughnuts.
