Equipment
- 1 Air fryer
- 1 Mixing bowl
- 1 Spatula or spoon for tossing
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 0.5 angel food cake loaf fresh but not too crumbly
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 0.25 cup cream cheese softened
- 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
- 2 teaspoons butter room temperature
- 1 to 2 teaspoons milk adjust for consistency
Instructions
Instructions
- Cut the angel food cake loaf into bite-sized cubes, about the size you like to munch on. Don’t make ’em too big or they won’t crisp well.
- In a small bowl, mix your granulated sugar and cinnamon till good and even. This is your cinnamon sugar coating, the heart of the churro bite flavor.
- Put the cake cubes in your air fryer basket in a single layer. Crowding them makes it so they don’t get crispy, so take your time.
- Air fry at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 to 7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through so everything browns evenly nice and golden.
- While that’s happening, beat your softened cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, butter, and 1 teaspoon of milk in a bowl. Add a little more milk if you wanna thinner dip, just to your liking.
- Once the churro bites come out warm and crisp, toss ’em right in your cinnamon sugar mix so every bite is coated.
- Serve them up with your cream cheese dip on the side and watch folks dive in.
Notes
Store churro bites in an airtight container for freshness. Reheat in the air fryer for a crispy treat later on. Cream cheese dip can be made ahead and chilled. Mix cinnamon sugar the night before to save time.
