Ingredients

Churro Bites

  • 1 store bought 7" angel food cake
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup cinnamon
  • Vegetable oil for cooking

Cream Cheese Frosting or Dip

  • 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 - 4 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon and set aside.
  • Cut angel food cake into cubes, approximately 11/2” x 11/2.”
  • In a large, nonstick skillet, add enough oil to cover 1/4 inch up the bottom of the pan. Heat over medium heat; when oil is hot, add half of the cubes and pan fry until one side is golden brown, flip and pan fry the other side until golden brown, approximately, 1-2 minutes per side, watching closely so they don't burn. When browned, immediately add cubes to the cinnamon/sugar bowl and toss using a spatula (because they are hot!), pressing sugar/cinnamon into the cubes until well coated. Repeat for remaining angel food cake bites.
  • For the cream cheese frosting, beat the cream cheese until creamy then beat in powdered sugar, vanilla and 3 T milk. Slowly add additional milk for thinner consistency if desired. Drizzle all frosting all over bites or use as a dip.

Notes

These are best served fresh and warm!!!
