Strawberry Cheesecake Funnel Cake

by

Strawberry Cheesecake Funnel Cake is the ultimate indulgence—a crispy, golden funnel cake topped with sweet, creamy cheesecake drizzle and a fresh strawberry sauce. It combines the nostalgia of a carnival favorite with the richness of cheesecake, creating a perfect dessert for any occasion.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cheesecake drizzle)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for strawberry sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

Directions:

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pan to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Pour the batter into a funnel or squeeze bottle and drizzle the batter in a circular motion into the hot oil, forming a spiral. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, then flip and fry for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  5. Remove the funnel cake from the oil and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  6. For the strawberry sauce, combine the chopped strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice (if using) in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the strawberries have softened and the sauce has thickened.
  7. For the cheesecake drizzle, whisk together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  8. To serve, place the funnel cakes on plates. Drizzle with the cheesecake mixture and top with the fresh strawberry sauce. Serve immediately.
