Churro Fried Oreos (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 cup granulated sugar, for a sweet and crunchy outer coating.
02 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened to make a smooth filling.
03 - 1 package Oreo cookies, pick either regular or double-stuffed.
04 - 2 tsp ground cinnamon, gives it that warm churro vibe.
05 - 1 cup pancake mix, forms the base of the batter.
06 - 1 tsp vanilla extract, enhances the batter's flavor.
07 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar, adds sweetness to the filling.
08 - 1 cup milk (use more if needed), helps make a smooth batter.
09 - 1 tsp vanilla extract, adds a hint of flavor to the filling.
10 - Oil, enough to fry and get that crispy finish.

# Instructions:

01 - Whisk the cream cheese in a bowl until creamy. Blend in powdered sugar and vanilla extract till it’s smooth. Transfer it into a piping bag or plastic baggie with the tip cut off to easily fill the cookies.
02 - Split each Oreo in half carefully. Pipe a bit of the cheesecake mixture onto the cream side of the cookie. Gently press the other half back on top, securing the filling.
03 - Combine the cinnamon and granulated sugar in a shallow dish. Leave this aside for coating after frying.
04 - Stir the pancake mix, milk, and vanilla in a bowl until it’s thick but pourable. Add a splash more milk if needed for dipping the Oreos.
05 - Warm oil in a skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C) so it’s ready to fry the cookies.
06 - Coat each stuffed Oreo fully in batter, then place it into the hot oil carefully. Fry in small groups for about 2-3 minutes per side, flipping when browned. Take them out and put them on paper towels to soak up excess oil.
07 - While they’re still warm, toss the fried Oreos in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until they’re completely coated.
08 - Serve warm! For extra tastiness, drizzle them with some caramel or chocolate sauce. Share and enjoy!

# Notes:

01 - These combine churros, Oreo cookies, and cheesecake flavors into a single over-the-top dessert.
02 - The crispy fried coating contrasts with the creamy cheesecake stuffing inside.
03 - These are best enjoyed warm, especially when shared at events or as a fun indulgence.
