Ingredients
12 frozen cheesecake bites (or cut a cheesecake into 1-inch cubes and freeze for 1–2 hours)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
¾ cup milk
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon baking powder
A pinch of salt
Oil for frying
Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Chocolate or strawberry sauce (optional, for dipping)
Instructions
- Freeze the Cheesecake: If using fresh cheesecake, cut into cubes and freeze until firm (1–2 hours). Frozen cheesecake bites work great too.
- Prepare Batter: In a bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, baking powder, and salt until smooth and slightly thick.
- Heat Oil: In a deep fryer or deep skillet, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Dip and Fry: Coat each frozen cheesecake bite in the batter, then carefully drop into the hot oil. Fry in batches for 2–3 minutes or until golden brown.
- Drain and Dust: Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels, and dust with powdered sugar.
- Serve Warm: Serve immediately with chocolate or berry sauce for dipping. Best enjoyed fresh and hot!
Tips & Variations
– Try drizzling with caramel or honey for a gourmet touch.
– For extra crunch, roll in crushed graham crackers before battering.
– You can also use flavored cheesecake (like strawberry swirl or chocolate chip).

FAQs
Q: Can I air-fry them instead?
You can try, but they won’t be quite as crispy. Spray with oil and air fry at 375°F for 5–6 minutes, flipping halfway.
Q: How long can I store leftovers?
These are best fresh, but you can refrigerate for up to 2 days and reheat in a toaster oven.
Q: Can I make them ahead?
Yes! Freeze the battered bites on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag. Fry straight from frozen when ready.
