Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 cups breadcrumbs

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes.
- In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt until well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until fully combined.
- Gradually combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until you achieve a smooth batter.
- Using a scoop or spoon, form small balls of the cheesecake mixture—about one inch in diameter—and gently roll them in breadcrumbs to coat each ball thoroughly.
- In a deep fryer or large pot, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place the cheesecake bites into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes on each side.
