These crispy air fryer cinnamon churro bites are crunchy on the outside, soft inside, and perfectly paired with a creamy dulce de leche dip. A quick and easy dessert that avoids the mess of deep frying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (about 16 oz or 454 g)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (100 g)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (8 g)
  • Vegetable or canola oil spray
  • ½ cup dulce de leche (120 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk (30 ml)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (2.5 ml)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until evenly combined. Set aside.
  3. Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and separate into individual biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters or smaller pieces if desired. Roll each piece into a small ball about 1 inch in diameter.
  4. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with vegetable or canola oil spray to prevent sticking.
  5. Place the dough balls in a single layer in the basket, leaving space between them for air circulation.
  6. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the bites halfway through to ensure even browning.
  7. Immediately toss the hot churro bites in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together dulce de leche, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and slightly runny.
  9. Serve the churro bites warm alongside the dulce de leche dip.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even crisping. Use refrigerated biscuit dough straight from the fridge for best shape retention. Toss bites in cinnamon sugar while hot for best coating. Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes to restore crispness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
