● Key Ingredients for Deep Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Pies

(Include a high-quality image of the ingredients here)

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened

• ¼ cup granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (helps thicken filling)

• 1 package refrigerated pie dough or biscuit dough

• 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)

• Vegetable oil, for frying

• Powdered sugar, for dusting

● Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
   In a medium bowl, mix softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no lumps — this ensures a silky Cheesecake texture.

2. Add the Strawberries
   Gently fold the chopped strawberries and cornstarch into the Cheesecake mixture. The cornstarch prevents excess moisture during frying.

3. Prepare the Dough
   Roll out the pie or biscuit dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 4–5 inch circles using a cutter or glass.

4. Fill the Pies
   Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of the strawberry Cheesecake filling into the center of each dough circle. Be careful not to overfill.

5. Seal the Edges
   Brush the edges with beaten egg, fold over, and press firmly with a fork to seal completely.

6. Heat the Oil
   Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Proper oil temperature ensures crispy pies without absorbing excess oil.

7. Fry to Golden Perfection
   Fry pies in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pan.

8. Drain and Finish
   Remove pies and drain on paper towels. Dust generously with powdered sugar before serving.

What to Serve Deep Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Pies With

• Vanilla ice cream for a hot-and-cold contrast

Top Tips for Perfecting Deep Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Pies

• Use room-temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps

• Seal edges tightly to prevent filling leaks

• Test oil temperature with a small dough piece first

• Try substitutions like blueberries or raspberries

• Avoid overcrowding the fryer for even cooking

• Air fry option: Cook at 375°F for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway

These tips help beginners and experienced cooks achieve perfect results every time.

Storing and Reheating Tips

• Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days

• Freezing: Freeze uncooked pies for up to 2 months

• Reheating:

  • Oven: 350°F for 8–10 minutes

  • Air fryer: 375°F for 4–5 minutes

  • Avoid microwaving — it softens the crust

Reheating properly keeps the Cheesecake filling creamy and the crust crispy.
