Scale

- 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
Instructions
- Start by bringing 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Once it reaches a rolling boil, remove it from the heat and stir in 1 cup of all-purpose flour until fully combined.
- Put the saucepan back on the heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until the dough becomes smooth.
- Allow the dough to cool for a few minutes.
- Incorporate the eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition until fully incorporated.
- To add a touch of flavor, stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the cheesecake filling by beating 8 oz of softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract together until smooth.
- Using a piping bag, pipe the churro dough into circular rings directly into the hot oil.
- Fry each ring for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.
- Mix 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon in a shallow dish and roll the churro rings in this mixture.
- Pipe the cheesecake filling into the center of each churro ring and drizzle with caramel sauce before serving.
Notes
Ensure your oil is at the right temperature for crispy churros. Let the dough cool properly before piping.
