Ingredients
Scale
- 12 Golden Oreos or white Oreos
- 1 cup (240 ml) mashed sweet potato (cooked and cooled)
- 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
- 2 tbsps brown sugar
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- Vegetable oil (enough for deep frying)
Instructions
- Sweet Potato Blend: Whisk mashed sweet potato with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Oreo Preparation: Carefully separate Oreo cookies, creating two distinct halves while maintaining their delicate structure.
- Filling Assembly: Spread a measured sweet potato mixture onto one cookie half, then gently reunite the halves, pressing edges to seal completely.
- Chilling Stage: Refrigerate stuffed cookies for 10 minutes to set and stabilize their form.
- Batter Creation: Combine flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Gradually blend milk, vanilla, and egg until achieving a silky, lump-free consistency.
- Oil Preparation: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F, ensuring an ideal frying environment.
- Battering and Frying: Thoroughly coat each sweet potato-filled Oreo in the prepared batter, then carefully submerge in hot oil. Fry each side for 1-2 minutes until achieving a crispy, golden-brown exterior.
- Draining and Cooling: Remove fried Oreos with a slotted spoon, placing on paper towels to drain excess oil and cool slightly.
- Glazing Finale: Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract into a smooth glaze. Drizzle generously over warm fried Oreos, creating a tantalizing finishing touch.
Notes
- Chill Before Frying: Refrigerate stuffed Oreos for 10 minutes to prevent filling leakage and maintain structural integrity during frying.
- Temperature Control: Maintain oil at exactly 350°F for perfect golden-brown exterior without burning or undercooking the cookies.
- Batter Consistency: Whisk batter thoroughly to eliminate lumps, ensuring smooth, even coating that creates a crispy, uniform shell.
- Draining Technique: Use paper towels to absorb excess oil, preventing soggy texture and keeping fried Oreos light and crisp.
