Ingredients
- Oil, As Needed For Deep Fat Frying
- FOR THE FILLED CHERRIES:
- 4 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, Room Temperature
- 3 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 24 whole Cherries, Pitted
- FOR THE COATING:
- 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs
- ¼ teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Buttermilk
Preparation Instructions
Heat oil to 375ºF.
For the filling:
Mix cream cheese, sugar and vanilla together. Place into a piping bag fitted with a small tip. Fill each cherry with your cream cheese mixture.
For the coating:
In a shallow pan/bowl mix crumbs and salt together.
Add buttermilk to a separate bowl.
Roll cherries into graham crumbs, then into the buttermilk, then repeat process. I did it 3 times to give each cherry a nice coating that stuck well.
Place no more than 3 cherries at a time into your hot oil for 20-30 seconds. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon or basket. Place onto a paper towel to drain the grease.
Enjoy your bites hot!
