Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup mashed sweet potato (cooked and cooled)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 White Oreos or golden Oreos
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- Vegetable oil (enough for deep frying)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Sweet Potato Filling: In a small bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth. Set aside for later use.
- Stuff the Oreos: Carefully split the Oreos into two halves. Spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of the sweet potato mixture onto one half of each Oreo. Gently reassemble the cookies, ensuring they are well sealed without overstuffing. Place them in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to firm up.
- Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add in the milk, vanilla, and egg, continuing to whisk until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.
- Fry the Oreos: Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Dip each stuffed Oreo into the batter, ensuring it’s completely coated, then let the excess batter drip off. Fry the Oreos for approximately 1-2 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Make the Glaze: Combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Whisk until the glaze is smooth. Drizzle it generously over the warm fried Oreos.
