Description
Cookie Dough Cheesecake Stuffed Churros combine the crispy, cinnamon-sugar-coated exterior of classic churros with a rich, indulgent cookie dough and cheesecake filling — a next-level dessert mashup.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 2 1/2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Oil, for frying
- 1/2 cup sugar (for coating)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup edible cookie dough (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine water, sugar, salt, and oil. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and stir in flour until mixture forms a ball.
- Let dough cool slightly, then transfer to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
- In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in edible cookie dough. Chill until ready to use.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C).
- Pipe strips of dough directly into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Mix cinnamon and sugar in a shallow dish and roll warm churros in the mixture until coated.
- Using a skewer or piping tip, create a hollow center in each churro.
- Transfer cheesecake cookie dough filling to a piping bag and fill each churro through the hollow center.
- Serve warm or chilled for a creamy, crunchy dessert experience.
Notes
- Make sure churros are cooled slightly before stuffing to avoid melting the filling.
- You can use a store-bought edible cookie dough or make your own with heat-treated flour.
- Best served the same day for optimal texture.
- Dust with extra powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate for added flair.
