Directions
Step 1
Cream Cheese Icing: In a bowl, combine all the ingredients. With a mixer, beat until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the fruit with the sugar and set aside for the fruits to soften.
Step 3
Dough: In the bowl of the stand mixer, combine the water, butter, sugar, yeast and salt. (see note) Add the flour. With the dough hook, mix for 2 to 3 minutes. Place the dough in a clean, lightly oiled bowl. Let rest in a warm, humid place until doubled in volume, about 1 hours.
Step 4
Preheat the oil in a deep fryer to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
Step 5
On a floured work surface, cut the dough into 4 to 6 pieces, depending on the size of your fryer. Roll out each piece into a thin (3 to 5 mm) oval. Slip 1 piece of dough into the oil, ensuring it does not fold over onto itself, using tongs if needed. Watch out for splattering. Fry for 2 minutes on each side or until golden. Drain on the paper towels. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Step 6
Topping: On a work surface, sprinkle the warm pastry with sugar, if desired. Spread with the cream cheese icing. Top with fruit and graham crackers
