Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 quart (4 cups) vegetable oil
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Cheese

Look for the Proudly Wisconsin Badge when shopping for cheese. Any brand of Wisconsin Mozzarella or String can be used in this recipe.

Instructions

Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss mozzarella whips with 1/4 cup flour in a large bowl, shaking off any extra flour. Arrange mozzarella whips in a single layer on prepared pan. Freeze for 1 hour.
Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat or deep-fat fryer to 375°F.
Combine the sugar, baking powder, salt and remaining flour in a large bowl. Whisk the milk, eggs and vanilla in another large bowl; gradually whisk into dry ingredients.
Dip mozzarella whips, one at a time, into the batter. Fry mozzarella whips, in batches, in vegetable oil for 1-2 minutes on each side or until light golden brown. (Do not crowd in the pan.) Drain mozzarella whips on paper towels. Repeat step with remaining mozzarella whips and batter.
Dust mozzarella whips with confectioners’ sugar. Serve with hot honey and strawberries.

Recipe Tip

For best results, allow oil temperature to return to 375°F between frying each batch.

Cheesemonger Tip

Do you have questions when shopping for cheese? Ask the cheesemonger! A cheesemonger specializes in the buying and selling of high-quality cheese, usually available in the specialty section of a grocery store or cheese shop. Knowledgeable and passionate, a cheesemonger is a go-to resource for cheese varieties and pairings, proper cheese storage and handling, its cooking applications and cheese brand information.

Snack on tasty, pull-apart Henning’s Mozza Whips! This low-moisture, part-skim mozzarella string cheese is crafted in small, thin pieces. Also, try whips to garnish a Bloody Mary, top a salad or as a treat in your lunch box. They're fun for kids of all ages.
