Step-by-step instructions
In a small bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and set aside.
Gently separate the White Oreos into two halves. On one half, place about 1 teaspoon of the sweet potato mixture, then carefully press the other half back on top. Chill these stuffed Oreos in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to firm up.
In a large bowl, whisk the flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, and salt together. Add the milk, vanilla extract, and egg, whisking until you achieve a smooth batter.
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a skillet until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Dip each stuffed Oreo into the batter, then fry in the oil for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
While the Oreos are frying, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl until smooth.
Once fried, remove the Oreos from the oil and drizzle the glaze over the warm treats, or dust with extra powdered sugar or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
Best ways to enjoy it
Serve your Sweet Potato Stuffed Fried White Oreos warm, and get ready for delightful reactions. For a fun twist, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side to elevate the snack to dessert status. You could also serve them alongside fresh fruit for a refreshing contrast, or a cup of hot cocoa or coffee for a cozy treat.
How to store
These fried delights are best enjoyed fresh, but if you find you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, consider freezing the stuffed, uncooked Oreos. When you’re ready to fry them, simply thaw before battering and frying.
Helpful cooking tips
- Make sure your oil is hot enough before frying; use a thermometer to ensure it stays at 350°F (175°C) for perfect frying.
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet; fry only a few Oreos at a time for even cooking.
- You can adjust the spices in the sweet potato filling to your taste – feel free to add cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist!
Creative twists
The beauty of this recipe lies in its versatility. Consider trying different cookies, like chocolate Oreos for a deeper flavor contrast. You could also add nuts or chocolate chips to the sweet potato filling for extra texture and richness. For a healthier version, bake the stuffed Oreos instead of frying!
