Equipment

  • large bowl
  • large nonstick skillet

Ingredients
  

Churro Bites

  • 1 whole store bought angel food cake 7" cake
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ¼ cup cinnamon
  • vegetable oil for cooking

Cream Cheese Frosting or Dip

  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3-4 tablespoons milk for consistency

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon and set aside.
  • Cut angel food cake into cubes, approximately 1.5" x 1.5".
  • In a large, nonstick skillet, add enough oil to cover ¼ 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 a thinner consistency if desired. Drizzle all frosting all over bites or use as a dip.

Notes

These are best served fresh and warm!!!
