Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes

1 cup of cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 package of regular-sized White Oreos

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

2 eggs

1/2 cup milk

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Oil, for frying

Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:

    - 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.

        - Allow the sweet potatoes to cool slightly, then peel and mash them in a bowl.

          Make the Filling:

            - 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.

              Stuff the Oreos:

                - 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!).

                  - 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.

                    Prepare the Breading Station:

                      - Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs and milk mixed together, and one with breadcrumbs and cinnamon.

                        Bread the Stuffed Oreos:

                          - 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.

                            Fry the Stuffed Oreos:

                              - In a large pot or deep skillet, heat oil over medium heat (about 350°F or 175°C).

                                - Fry the breaded Oreos in batches, careful not to overcrowd the pan, for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

                                  - Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

                                    Serve:

                                      - 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.
