Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the Cream Cheese and Granulated Sugar until smooth. Beat in the Egg Yolk, Vanilla Extract, and Sour Cream until well combined.
Cut the mozzarella cheese sticks in half. Wrap each half with approximately 1 tablespoon of Cheesecake Filling, forming a small log.
Prepare the Corn Dog Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Flour, Buttermilk, Egg, Cornmeal, Baking Powder, Salt, and Cayenne Pepper until smooth.
Prepare the Honey Butter Dip: In a small bowl, cream together the softened Butter and Honey until light and fluffy.
Heat the Vegetable Oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
Dip each cheesecake-filled mozzarella stick into the Corn Dog Batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
Carefully lower the battered cheese sticks into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove the corn dogs from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with the Honey Butter Dip.
