Ingredients:

For the Peaches:

• 4 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
• ½ cup cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Batter:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• ¾ cup milk (or water)
• 1 large egg

For Frying and Coating:

• Vegetable oil, for frying
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Peaches:
   • Scoop out a small amount from the center of each peach half to create space for the filling.
   • In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
   • Spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture into the hollowed center of each peach half.
2. Prepare the Batter:
   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon.
   • Add the milk and egg, and whisk until smooth. The batter should be thick but pourable.
3. Heat the Oil:
   • In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there is enough oil to fully submerge the peaches.
4. Fry the Peaches:
   • Dip each peach half into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
   • Carefully place the battered peaches into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes per side.
   • Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
5. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar:
   • In a shallow dish, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
   • While the peaches are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
6. Serve:
   • Serve the fried peaches warm, optionally with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
