By admin Are you ready to create a dessert so incredibly irresistible, it’ll be gone before you can even say “cherry pie”? Prepare to have your mind blown: the dessert world is buzzing about these incredibly easy and utterly delicious Cherry Pie Bombs, and you’re about to discover the secret to making them in under 20 minutes.
Ingredients:
For the Explosively Delicious Cherry Pie Bombs:
- 1 package (8 oz) of ready-to-use refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup of luscious cherry pie filling
- Oil, perfect for frying
For the Irresistible Glaze:
- 1 cup of fine powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons of fresh milk
- 1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
Directions:
Prep Your Dough for Perfection: Begin by carefully unrolling the crescent roll dough across a clean surface. Using a knife or pizza cutter, divide the dough into 16 uniform squares. Now, take a small, generous spoonful of that vibrant cherry pie filling and center it on each individual dough square.
Craft Your Sweet Bombs: Gently fold the corners of the dough over the cherry filling, bringing them together to completely encase the sweet center. It’s crucial to pinch all the edges firmly to create a tight seal. This step is key to preventing any precious cherry filling from escaping its doughy shell during the frying process.
Fry to Golden Perfection: In a deep fryer or a sturdy, large saucepan, heat your chosen oil to a precise 350°F (175°C). Carefully lower the cherry pie bombs into the hot oil in manageable batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for approximately 2-3 minutes, turning them once, until they achieve a beautiful, golden-brown hue. Once perfectly cooked, use a slotted spoon to retrieve them and let them drain on a layer of paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Whip Up the Dreamy Glaze: While your pie bombs are cooling slightly, grab a small bowl and combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk these ingredients vigorously until you achieve a silky-smooth, pourable glaze. If you find the glaze too thick for your liking, simply add a tiny bit more milk, one teaspoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
Glaze and Indulge: Don’t wait too long! While the cherry pie bombs are still wonderfully warm, generously drizzle them with your freshly made glaze. For an even more decadent experience, you can dip each bomb directly into the glaze to coat it completely. Allow them to set for just a few minutes, giving the glaze time to firm up slightly, before diving in and enjoying these spectacular treats!
