Sweet Potato Stuffed Fried White Oreos

Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes
• 1 cup cream cheese, softened
• 0.33 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 package regular-sized White Oreos
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 Prise oil, for frying
• 1 Prise powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Poke holes in the sweet potatoes with a fork and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until soft and tender.
2. Allow the sweet potatoes to cool slightly, then peel and mash them in a bowl.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. If desired, add a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor. Set aside.
4. Carefully twist apart each White Oreo cookie and use a small spoon or your fingers to scoop out a little bit of the cream filling (save it for later if you’d like!).
5. Place a small amount of the sweet potato mixture on one half of the Oreo. Gently press the other half back on top to create a stuffed Oreo. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
6. Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs and milk mixed together, and one with breadcrumbs and cinnamon.
7. Carefully dip each stuffed Oreo first into the flour, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Repeat until all Oreos are breaded.
8. In a large pot or deep skillet, heat oil over medium heat (about 350°F or 175°C).
9. Fry the breaded Oreos in batches, careful not to overcrowd the pan, for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
10. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
11. Dust the fried stuffed Oreos with powdered sugar and serve warm. You can add a drizzle of chocolate sauce or even a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
