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.

Ingredients
  

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

Instructions
 

  • 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.
