Fried cheesecake! Do I need to say more? Make it yourself and enjoy this incredibly delicious dessert. Biting into one of these is seriously satisfying!
1 8 ounce whipped cream cheese
3/4 cup cottage cheese
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon Gefen Vanilla Sugar
2 heaping tablespoons sour cream
1 teaspoon Tuscanini Lemon Juice
1 pie crust
2 cups Glicks Flour
1 egg
1/4 cup melted butter
2 teaspoons Gefen Vanilla Extract
1 and 3/4 cups milk
4 and 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup sugar
3 cups oil, such as Gefen Canola Oil, (for frying)
ice cream
melted chocolate
whipped cream
strawberry sauce (storebought)
In a large bowl, blend all the cheesecake ingredients together until creamy and smooth.
Pour the mixture into the pie crust and bake on 350 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour.
Once cooled, scoop out the cheesecake (including the crust) and form into balls.
Place the balls onto a lined baking sheet and freeze for at least one hour.
In a medium bowl, combine all the tempura batter ingredients and blend with a hand mixer until very smooth.
Heat oil in a pot for frying.
Remove the frozen cheesecake balls from the freezer.
Dip each ball in the tempura batter and carefully place it into the hot oil.
Fry for two to three minutes on each side until golden brown.
