Deep Fried Cheesecake Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- 2
Prepare the Crust
In another bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 8-inch square baking pan.
- 3
Bake the Cheesecake
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust and spread evenly. Bake at 325°F (165°C) for about 30-35 minutes or until set. Allow it to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Cut and Freeze
Once the cheesecake is chilled, cut it into squares or desired shapes and place them on a baking sheet. Freeze for at least 1 hour.
- 5
Prepare the Batter
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, milk, and cinnamon until smooth. The batter should be thick but pourable.

Deep Fry the Cheesecake
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Dip each frozen cheesecake piece into the batter and carefully place it in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.

Drain and Serve
Remove the fried cheesecake from the oil and drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
