Indulge in warm, crispy churros filled with a luscious cheesecake mixture and drizzled with caramel sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Churro Dough: In a medium saucepan, bring the water, butter, and salt to a boil over medium heat. Once it boils, remove from heat and stir in the flour until fully combined. Return to heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until smooth.
  2. Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Once the dough has slightly cooled, stir in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  3. Heat the Oil: In a deep fryer or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
  5. Pipe the Churro Rings: Using a piping bag, pipe the churro dough into circular rings, about 3-4 inches in diameter, into the hot oil.
  6. Fry the Churros: Fry each churro ring for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Cinnamon-Sugar Coating: Mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish, then roll each churro ring in the mixture while warm.
  8. Assemble the Treats: Fill each churro ring with the cheesecake filling and drizzle with warm caramel sauce.

Notes

Allow the dough to cool before adding eggs to prevent scrambling. Ensure oil temperature is correct for optimum crispiness.
