Churro Cheesecake Doughnut Bites

Churro Cheesecake Doughnut Bites

  • Author: David Andersson
  • Total Time: 24 minutes
  • Yield: 16 doughnut bites 1x

Description

At its heart, this delicious recipe is a fusion dessert that combines three distinct sweet elements into a bite-sized treat. The foundation consists of a soft biscuit dough outer shell that mimics the tender texture of a classic yeast doughnut. Tucked safely inside that dough shell lies a creamy, sweet cream cheese filling enhanced with pure vanilla extract.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cheesecake Filling

  • 115 g (4 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

For the Doughnut Bites

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • Oil spray, if air frying

Instructions

  • Make the cheesecake filling:
    Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a piping bag or zip-top bag and set aside.
  • Prepare the dough:
    Separate the biscuit dough and cut each biscuit in half. Flatten each piece slightly.
  • Fill the dough:
    Place a small amount of cheesecake filling in the center of each dough piece. Carefully fold the dough around the filling and pinch the edges firmly to seal. Roll gently into a ball.
  • Prepare the cinnamon sugar:
    Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.

  • Cook the doughnut bites:
    Air fryer: Preheat to 180°C / 350°F. Lightly spray the doughnut bites with oil and air fry for 7–9 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown.

    Oven: Place on a lined baking sheet and bake at 190°C / 375°F for 10–12 minutes, or until golden.

  • Coat with cinnamon sugar:
    While still warm, brush each bite lightly with melted butter, then immediately roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until completely coated.
  • Serve:
    Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with chocolate sauce, caramel, or extra cheesecake dip.

Notes

These Churro Cheesecake Doughnut Bites are crispy on the outside, soft and creamy on the inside, and coated in irresistible cinnamon sugar. Serve them warm for the best flavor, with chocolate, caramel, or your favorite dipping sauce for an extra-special treat.
