Why I Love This Recipe
This dessert hits all the nostalgic notes while offering a gourmet twist. The creamy cheesecake filling adds decadence to an already dreamy cookie, and the crispy crescent dough shell mimics the satisfying crunch of a churro. It’s perfect for parties, special treats, or those times when you want to show off just a little.
Ingredients
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
For the Oreos:
- 16 Double Stuf Oreos (regular Oreos work too)
- 1 can crescent roll dough (or homemade dough if you prefer)
For Frying:
- Vegetable oil (enough for deep frying)
For the Churro Coating:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Ingredient Swaps and Notes
- Crescent dough: Store-bought makes this easy, but if you have homemade dough or puff pastry on hand, feel free to use it.
- Oreos: While Double Stuf is preferred for extra filling, any flavor or version can be used. Golden, mint, or even birthday cake Oreos? Yes, please.
- Air fryer alternative: If you want to skip deep frying, these can be made in an air fryer at 350°F for 6–8 minutes, but the texture may be slightly different.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. Spoon into a piping bag or zip-top bag with one corner snipped.
2. Prepare the Oreos
Carefully twist each Oreo open. Pipe a bit of the cheesecake filling onto the cream side, then gently press the top back on. Repeat with all Oreos.
3. Wrap with Dough
Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into squares or triangles. Cut pieces big enough to fully enclose each Oreo. Wrap each Oreo and pinch the seams closed, making sure no cheesecake leaks out.
4. Fry the Oreos
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Gently place 2–3 dough-wrapped Oreos at a time into the hot oil. Fry for 2 minutes per side or until puffed and golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar
Mix the cinnamon and sugar in a shallow bowl. While still warm, roll each fried Oreo in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.
Tips for Success
- Make sure the oil stays around 350°F for even cooking.
- Don’t overcrowd the fryer—this can lower the temperature and make the dough soggy.
- Let them cool just a minute before eating to avoid burning your tongue on molten cheesecake!
Serving Suggestions and Pairings
These are best served warm, ideally with:
- A drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce
- A dollop of whipped cream
- A scoop of vanilla or cinnamon ice cream
- Or a dunk in Brownie Batter Dip for chocolate overload
For drinks, pair them with cold milk, coffee, or even a fun party drink like this Rainbow Sangria!
Storage and Leftover Tips
These are best eaten fresh, but if you must store them:
- Let cool completely and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day.
- To reheat, pop them in the oven at 350°F for 5–7 minutes to regain crispiness.
- Avoid microwaving—they’ll turn soggy.
