Delightful Crispy Fried Cheesecake Bites Recipe

Crispy Fried Cheesecake Bites feature a decadent blend of creamy cheesecake enveloped in a crunchy shell, making them a delightful treat for any celebration.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs preferably panko
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  • Prepare the cheesecake filling by mixing cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and egg in a bowl until smooth.
  • Chill the filling in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm it up.
  • Once chilled, scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of the filling and roll them into balls.
  • Set up a dredging station with flour in one bowl, beaten egg in another, and breadcrumbs in a third.
  • Coat each cheesecake ball first in flour, then dip in egg, and finally roll in breadcrumbs.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F (175°C) before frying the bites in batches.
  • Fry the bites until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Remove them from the oil and drain on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
