Deep-Fried Peeps
Peeps get a crisp graham-coconut coating and a quick fry, turning them into gooey, golden little marshmallow treats.
Prep 10 min · Cook 8 min · Total 20 min · Makes 5 fried Peeps
Ingredients
- 2 egg whites, mixed
- 4 sheets Graham crackers crushed into crumbs
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 5 Peeps
- Vegetable oil for frying
Directions
- Coat each Peep in the egg whites, cover it with graham cracker crumbs, then send it back through the egg whites and crumbs for another layer. Dip it into the egg whites once more, finish it in the shredded coconut, and press the coconut gently so it sticks. The Peep should be completely covered, with a sturdy graham cracker coating all around it.
- Bring the oil to 350 degrees F. Fry the Peeps one at a time, turning each Peep when the bottom has browned. Cook until the outside is golden brown or the marshmallow begins to seep out, about 30 seconds.
- Transfer the cooked Peeps to a plate lined with paper towels. Let them cool slightly before eating, while the centers are still melted.
