Cookies and Cream Funnel Cake

One of the most popular flavors is now a tasty funnel cake! Topped with sweet crème, crunchy cookie crumbles, and dusted in a layer of powdered sugar, the cookies and cream funnel cake will make your mouth water.

Ingredients

#5100 Pennsylvania Dutch Funnel Cake Mix
Frying Oil
90 oz. Water
#2917 OREO® Kit (contains OREO cookie pieces, crème, and OREO base cake)
Powdered Sugar

Directions

Preparing the Funnel Cake Batter
- Place 90 oz. of water in a large container.
- Using a blender on slow speed, or a whisk, slowly add the funnel cake mix.
- Blend until the batter is smooth.
- Pour the batter into a funnel pouring pitcher.
Making the Funnel Cake
- Fill your shallow fryer to the recommended level with vegetable oil and heat to 400 degrees F.
- Place the funnel cake mold in the fryer.
- Pour batter into the mold from a funnel cake pitcher, starting with a circle of batter near the outer edge of the mold, then making a zig-zag overlapping design touching the outer edge circle.
- Do not overfill mold since the batter will expand as it cooks.
- After approximately 30 seconds remove the mold and turn the funnel cake over with tongs to achieve a golden brown on both sides.
- Remove the funnel cake and let it cool briefly.
- Top with powdered sugar, ice cream, honey or any kind of your favorite toppings.
Topping the Funnel Cake
- Drizzle a layer of crème on the top of the funnel cake
- Shake OREO base cake and cookie pieces generously on top
- Finish by topping with powdered sugar
