Introduction

This Sweet & Creamy Churro Dip is a delightful treat that’s perfect for parties or casual snacking. With a rich cream cheese base and a sweet cinnamon twist, it pairs wonderfully with graham crackers, pretzels, and fruit slices.

A round white bowl filled with a creamy, light beige dip that has a slightly grainy texture. The dip is topped with crumbled light brown cookie or graham cracker pieces scattered unevenly on the surface. A single pretzel piece is dipped halfway into the dip near the edge of the bowl. Around the bowl, there are multiple golden-brown pretzels and churros resting on a white marbled surface and a white wooden board underneath the bowl. The overall look is warm and inviting with a cozy snack vibe. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 8-ounce block cream cheese
1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
¾ packed cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup crushed cinnamon sugar cereal
Graham crackers, for serving
Pretzels or pretzel chips, for serving
Apple slices, for serving
Vanilla wafers, for serving
Churro chips (optional, personal preference), for serving
Waffle cone chips, for serving

Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whip the cold heavy cream on high speed for 2 to 3 minutes until stiff peaks form. Set aside. Chilling your bowl and whisk beforehand can help the cream whip faster.
Step 2: In another bowl, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until light and fluffy. Gradually add the brown sugar and cinnamon, mixing until fully combined.
Step 3: Stir the crushed cinnamon sugar cereal into the cream cheese mixture until well combined. Then gently fold in the whipped cream with a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
Step 4: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dip. Take it out about one hour before serving to bring it to room temperature. Garnish with extra crushed cereal if desired, and serve with your choice of dippers.

Tips & Variations

Use churro chips for a flavor boost, or try waffle cone chips for a crunchy contrast.
For a dairy-free option, substitute cream cheese and heavy cream with coconut-based alternatives.
Adjust cinnamon to taste if you prefer a stronger spice flavor.
Chilling the mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream can speed up the process.

Storage

Store the dip covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir gently before serving. For best flavor and texture, allow the dip to come to room temperature about an hour before serving. Avoid freezing as it may affect the creamy texture.
