How to Make Fried Cheesecake Bites Aka The Ultimate Comfort Food
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and citrus zest. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice until well combined.
- Roll the cheesecake mixture into 1-inch balls.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour and cinnamon.
- In another shallow dish, lightly beat the eggs.
- Dip each cheesecake ball into the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Next, dip each flour-coated ball into the beaten eggs.
- Finally, coat each ball with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place the cheesecake balls into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry the cheesecake balls for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through. They are done when they are cooked through in the center.
- Remove the fried cheesecake balls from the skillet and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm with blueberry syrup for dipping.
