4 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla
Sugar Glaze:
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon corn syrup
1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Heat the Oil:
Fill a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven with 4–5 inches of vegetable oil. Heat to 375°F, maintaining a steady temperature.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
Beat together cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
Prepare the Dough:
Roll out pie crust and cut into 5–6 inch circles (makes 6 rounds).
Fill the Pies:
Add 1 tablespoon cheesecake filling and 2 tablespoons strawberry filling to each round. Brush water around the edges, fold, and crimp with a fork to seal.
Make the Glaze:
Combine powdered sugar, corn syrup, and water until smooth. Set aside.
Fry the Pies:
Fry each pie for 2–3 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Glaze and Cool:
Brush both sides with glaze while warm. Allow glaze to set on a wire rack.
Serve:
Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
Swap strawberry filling for cherry, blueberry, or raspberry.
Add lemon zest to cheesecake filling for a tangy twist.
Try rolling in cinnamon sugar instead of glazing for extra crunch.
Store at room temperature for up to 1 day; reheat at 350°F for 5–7 minutes.
Bake instead of fry at 400°F for 15–18 minutes if desired.
