Deep Fried Sweet Cheese Sticks

Today, I am going to prepare some light snacks to please both adults and kids.  Most of you may have tried some deep fried mozarella cheese balls.  This recipe would be the sweet version of deep fried cheese.  Instead, what I use is cheddar cheese in here.

So in a pot, combine together cheese, sugar, milk, corn starch and salt.  Give them some stir to blending them together before heating them on the stove.  Turning the stove to medium heat and cook the cheese mixture until it thickened.  Keep stiring, so your mixture will not get lumpy.

Scrap out all the cheese mixture from the pot and transfer it into pre-lined tray or container.  Smooth the top part.  Keep the thickness for approximately one or one and half centimeters.   I like to do it in the square tin for easy cutting.  Oops mine looks terrible because my tray was way too big. 

Then keep the cheese in the fridge for about one to two hours so it will get hardened and made it easy to cut.  I waited only around one hour, then I cut them into a long stick with the size roughly of 1x10 cm.

Mix your flour and water together in one bowl and put your breadcrumbs ready in another plate.  Dip your cheese stick in the flour mixture then into the breadcrumbs.  Do it one at a time and make sure it all covered.  After that, put them back in the fridge just for another half an hour.

Final step is deep frying your cheese sticks.  We need a considerably high heat, so the outer side will turn golden fast before the inner cheese is melted.  Once you remove them from the heat, put them on the plate lined with kitchen towel to absorb the excessive oil.  Then there we have....  Deep fried sweet cheese sticks.
