Chocolate and cheese is an unbeatable sweet and salty combination. If you like cheesecake, you’ll love these scrumptious dairy hamantaschen.

Ingredients

For the Dough

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 1/2 cup oil

  • 1/2 cup margarine

  • 3 eggs

  • 1/2 cup orange juice

For the Cheesecake Filling

  • pinch of salt

For the Topping

  • caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade; I used Baker’s Choice)

Directions

Make the Hamantaschen

1.

Combine ingredients for the cheesecake filling. Place one teaspoon of filling into the center of each hamantasch. Fold up the sides and pinch the ends to form the hamantasch shape. 

2.

When cool, drizzle with caramel sauce.

3.

First combine the wet ingredients for the dough, then add the dry ingredients and mix until fully incorporated.

4.

Roll out dough one-fourth inch thick. Using a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out circles two inches in diameter.

5.

Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until lightly golden.

Is it a liquidity or more stiff (easy to work with) filling

I would assume it is pretty thick because there is not really any liquid. As you stir it the crem cheese will beome smoother but not liquidy.
