Ingredients

For the Sweet Potato Filling:

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

For the Oreo Stuffing:

12 White Oreos (or golden Oreos)

For the Batter:

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

For Frying:

Vegetable oil (for deep frying)

For the Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar
2–3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
1. Prepare the Sweet Potato Filling:
In a bowl, mix the mashed sweet potato, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside.

2. Stuff the Oreos:
Carefully separate the White Oreos into halves. Spread about 1 teaspoon of the sweet potato filling onto one half and gently press the other half back on top. Repeat for all 12 Oreos. Chill them in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to firm up.

3. Prepare the Batter:
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk, vanilla extract, and egg, whisking until smooth.

4. Fry the Oreos:
Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Dip each stuffed Oreo into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Let the excess batter drip off, then carefully place the Oreo in the hot oil. Fry for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate.

5. Make the Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the warm fried Oreos.

6. Serve and Enjoy!
Enjoy these crispy, golden treats while they are warm! For extra flavor, dust them with powdered sugar or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Instructions

Serve Immediately: For the best texture and flavor, serve these Sweet Potato Stuffed Fried White Oreos right after frying while they are still warm and crispy.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day. The coating may soften over time, but they will still be delicious!
Reheat for Crispiness: To restore some crispiness, reheat in an oven or air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes before serving. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the batter soggy.
Freezing Option: For longer storage, freeze the stuffed Oreos before frying. Simply place them on a baking sheet in the freezer for 1-2 hours, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. Fry directly from frozen when you’re ready to enjoy them.
Serving Suggestions: These are perfect with a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of caramel sauce, or a scoop of ice cream on the side for a truly indulgent dessert experie

Notes

Sweet Potato Alternatives: For a different filling, you can substitute mashed sweet potato with pumpkin puree, butternut squash, or even a sweet cream cheese mixture for a unique twist.
Oreos: While white or golden Oreos are ideal, feel free to experiment with regular chocolate Oreos for a contrasting flavor. You could also use flavored Oreos like mint or peanut butter to add variety.
Batter Variations: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for extra warmth and flavor, or incorporate a dash of vanilla extract for a richer taste. For a lighter version, try using sparkling water or club soda in place of milk to make the batter fluffier.
Stuffing Ideas: Mix in some chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the sweet potato filling for added crunch. You could also incorporate mini chocolate chips or marshmallows for extra sweetness.
Glaze Alternatives: Try using maple syrup, honey, or caramel sauce instead of the powdered sugar glaze for a different flavor profile. For a chocolate touch, drizzle melted chocolate or Nutella over the fried Oreos.
Fried Sweet Treats: Switch up the filling with fruit-based mixtures like apple pie filling or strawberry jam, and pair with a classic sugar glaze or whipped cream.
Vegan Option: Use a plant-based milk (like almond or coconut) and a flax egg to make this recipe vegan-friendly while still keeping the delicious flavor.
