Ingredients
- 1 cheesecake (store-bought or homemade, chilled and firm)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs or crushed cookies
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Optional: chocolate sauce, caramel, or berry compote for dipping
Instructions
- Cut chilled cheesecake into bite-sized cubes. Freeze for at least 1 hour until firm.
- Set up three bowls: flour, beaten eggs mixed with milk, and graham cracker crumbs.
- Dip each frozen cheesecake cube in flour, then egg mixture, then crumbs. Repeat egg and crumbs for extra crispiness if desired.
- Heat oil in a fryer or deep pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry bites in batches for 1–2 minutes until golden. Turn as needed.
- Remove with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
Notes
- Try crushed Oreos or cinnamon-sugar graham crackers for variation.
- Use flavored cheesecake for unique twists—like strawberry or chocolate swirl.
- For air frying, spray coated bites with oil and cook at 375°F for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven or air fryer to crisp up.
- Freezing the bites before frying is essential to prevent filling from oozing out.
