Cookie Dough Cheesecake-Stuffed Churros
Crispy churros filled with cookie dough cheesecake, rolled in cinnamon sugar, and drizzled with chocolate—an indulgent, texture-packed treat.
For the Churros:
- 1 cup water
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- For the Cookie Dough Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup edible cookie dough
For Frying and Coating:
- Oil for frying vegetable or canola
- ½ cup sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon cinnamon cinnamon sugar
For Serving:
- Chocolate sauce for drizzling
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring water, butter, sugar, and salt to a simmer. Stir until butter melts, then remove from heat.
Add flour all at once and stir vigorously until a smooth dough ball forms and pulls from the pan. Let cool for 5 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time until dough is smooth and glossy.
Beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in edible cookie dough. Chill the mixture in the fridge while you fry the churros.
Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Pipe 4–6-inch strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting ends with scissors. Fry 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
While warm, poke a hole in one end of each churro. Pipe in chilled filling until they feel gently full. Roll each churro in cinnamon sugar to coat completely.
Place churros on a serving plate. Drizzle with chocolate sauce and serve immediately for the perfect crispy-creamy bite.
