- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Using a piping bag or a small spoon, carefully fill each Oreo cookie with the cream cheese mixture. Set them aside.

- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Dip each stuffed Oreo into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

Substitutions & Additions

Tips for Success
- Don’t overfill the Oreos: Keep the filling just right to avoid spills while frying.
- Temperature check: Make sure your oil is hot enough; otherwise, the batter can absorb too much oil.
- Prep-ahead: You can fill the Oreos ahead of time and keep them in the fridge until you’re ready to fry!
How to Store Cookies & Cream Cheesecake Stuffed Fried Oreos 🍪
These delicious treats are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers (which is rare!), you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Just keep in mind that they may lose some of their crispiness. If you want to keep them longer, consider refrigerating them for up to a week. To re-crisp, pop them in a warm oven for a few minutes before serving.
