Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup chocolate chip cookie dough
Liquid Base:
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coating and Sweeteners:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Oil for frying
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Create a saucepan mixture of 1 cup water, 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and heat to boiling point over medium temperature.
- Add 1 cup flour and ¼ teaspoon salt to the boiling liquid, stirring aggressively until your dough separates cleanly from pan sides.
- Remove pan from heat and allow your dough to cool for exactly 5 minutes at room temperature.
- Incorporate 2 large eggs into the cooled dough one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until the texture becomes smooth and consistent.
- Heat your cooking oil to precisely 350F in a deep frying pan or pot.
- Blend ½ cup cream cheese, ¼ cup brown sugar, ½ cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a small bowl until perfectly smooth.
- Fold ½ cup chocolate chip cookie dough into your cream cheese mixture until completely integrated.
- Transfer the filling into a piping bag equipped with a small round tip.
- Pipe churro dough carefully into hot oil, creating 3-inch segments.
- Fry churros in batches for 2-3 minutes until they reach a deep golden brown color.
- Drain freshly fried churros on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Combine 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
- Roll each warm churro thoroughly in the cinnamon-sugar mixture for complete coverage.
- Serve immediately while the churros remain hot and crispy.
Notes
- Make sure your dough is completely cool before adding eggs to prevent scrambling and ensure a smooth texture.
- Use a candy thermometer to maintain precise oil temperature, which helps achieve perfectly crispy churros without burning.
- When piping the filling, work slowly and carefully to prevent overfilling and potential leaks during frying.
- Freeze the cheesecake cookie dough filling for 15-20 minutes before stuffing to make it easier to handle and reduce potential mess.
