### Ingredients:
– **For the Cheesecake Filling:**
– 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup sour cream
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 large egg
– **For the Coating and Frying:**
– 1 sheet of puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for dusting)
– 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
– 1 cup crushed graham crackers (for coating)
– 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for coating)
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for added flavor)
– Vegetable oil (for frying)
– **For Serving (Optional):**
– Powdered sugar (for dusting)
– Fresh berries or fruit compote (optional)
– Chocolate or caramel sauce (optional)
### Directions:
#### 1. **Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:**
– In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, sour cream, vanilla extract, and egg. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Make sure the mixture is well-blended and there are no lumps. This will form the delicious, rich filling for your cheesecake bites.
#### 2. **Chill the Cheesecake Filling:**
– Once the cheesecake filling is prepared, cover the bowl and refrigerate it for at least 1-2 hours to firm up. This makes it easier to handle when forming the bites, preventing the filling from spilling out during frying.
3. **Prepare the Puff Pastry:**
– Roll out the puff pastry on a clean, lightly floured surface. If you’re using store-bought puff pastry, ensure it’s thawed to room temperature before you begin. Cut the pastry into small squares, about 2-3 inches per side. The number of squares will depend on how large you want your cheesecake bites to be.
