    Preparation Process:

    1. Prep the Oreos: Carefully separate the Oreo cookies, reserving the cream filling for later.
    2. Create the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until smooth.
    3. Coat the Oreos: Dip each Oreo cookie into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated.
    4. Fry to Perfection: Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (177°C). Carefully add the battered Oreos to the hot oil, frying in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 30-40 seconds per side, or until golden brown.
    5. Drain and Cool: Remove the fried Oreos from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let them cool slightly.
    6. Assemble the Delight: Once the Oreos have cooled, pipe or spoon the reserved cream filling back onto the fried cookies.
    7. Dust with Sugar: Generously dust the Oreo Churro Delights with powdered sugar.

    Total Time: Approximately 30 minutes

    Serving Ideas:

    A Sweet Indulgence: Serve the Oreo Churro Delights on their own as a decadent dessert.

  • A Flavorful Pairing: Pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
  • A Festive Treat: Present them on a platter with other fried desserts, such as churros or donuts.
