Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love this recipe because it’s fast, easy, and uses simple ingredients I usually already have at home. In just 10 minutes, I can make a warm dessert that feels special and nostalgic. I also like how the air fryer gives the Oreos a golden crust without deep frying, which makes them less messy and a little lighter.
Ingredients
(Note: All ingredient amounts are listed in the recipe card below.)
6 Oreo cookies
3 canned biscuits
1/2 cup milk optional
1/4 cup powdered sugar optional
Directions
-
I cut each biscuit in half.
-
I roll the biscuit halves in my hands, then flatten them into circles.
-
I dip each Oreo into milk to soften it slightly (optional).
-
I place the Oreo in the center of the dough and wrap it completely, sealing it into a ball.
-
I preheat my air fryer to 370°F for 2 minutes.
-
I place the dough-wrapped Oreos into the basket, leaving space between them.
-
I air fry at 370°F for 5–7 minutes until golden brown.
-
I dust the warm Oreos with powdered sugar before serving (optional).
Servings and Timing
This recipe makes 6 servings. The prep time is 5 minutes, cook time is 5 minutes, and the total time is just 10 minutes.
Variations
I like to switch things up by using different Oreo flavors such as Golden Oreos, Double Stuf, or seasonal varieties. Sometimes I drizzle melted chocolate or caramel over the top instead of powdered sugar. For an extra sweet touch, I serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Storage/Reheating
I store leftover air fried Oreos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, I pop them back into the air fryer at 325°F for 2–3 minutes until warm.
