How to Make Dennys Red Velvet Puppies With Cream Cheese Icing
- Preheat your oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) red velvet cake mix and 3 large eggs.
- Use an immersion blender or stand mixer to blend until the batter is completely smooth and lump-free.
- Gently stir in ½ cup of white chocolate chips.
- Use a 1-ounce cookie scoop or spoon to drop the batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
- Fry each puppy for approximately 1 minute per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove them.
- Place the cooked puppies on a wire rack or plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. (Note: the oil will turn red; use it only for this recipe).
- While the puppies are frying, prepare the cream cheese icing.
- In a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and ¼ cup (½ stick) of softened butter.
- Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add ½ cup of powdered sugar, beating until smooth after each addition. Then add the remaining powdered sugar.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon lemon extract, and 1 tablespoon of milk until well combined.
- Transfer the icing to a small bowl. Serve the warm Red Velvet Puppies immediately, dunking them generously into the cream cheese icing.
