Churro Twists with a Cinnamon Cream Cheese Dip: toss store-bought crescent dough into cinnamon sugar and bake them for the ultimate quick churro dessert!
We went to Disney a few weeks ago and had Churros as we waited in line for the teapots. Since then, the girls have been BEGGING for more churros.
I am obviously a big churro fan myself with all my past Churro Recipes: Churro Chex Mix, Pumpkin Churros, Churros with Salted Caramel Sauce and Churro Cupcakes!
However, I was not in the mood to make real churros and dragging out my big pot and a bunch of oil to fry them up.
I was in the mood for EASY.
I had a can of crescent dough in my fridge already and started thinking that maybe I could just use that to make a baked churro. I wasn’t 100% certain, but thought it should work.
They turned out SO good, that we inhaled the entire batch in minutes. The girls liked them just as they were, but I wanted a little dipping sauce.
Usually with Churros, I dip them in salted caramel or chocolate sauce.
This time I wanted something different.
I whipped up a super quick Cinnamon Cream Cheese Dip and it was the perfect pairing for these Churro Twists.
It’s creamy and sweet and goes wonderfully with the Churro Twists.
If you prefer the more traditional dip, check this recipe for my salted caramel sauce recipe!
These Churro Twists are so EASY and take only a few minutes to prep and 6 minutes to bake! Couldn’t be any easier!
And the kids can loved helping toss them in the cinnamon sugar (and licking each finger afterwards, of course).

I found a recipe for Apple Pie Dip and wanted a churro recipe for dipping. There are several churro recipes but your recipe is a winner. I may try making these with the thin pre-made pizza dough. That dough is obviously larger and would make alot more for a family get together. Thanks for sharing your recipe. **
The whole family was wanting something sweet last night after having chicken fajitas for dinner and my husband was going to go to the store to buy something but then I remembered getting your recipe a few days back for these churro twists. We made them and they were a hit!! They disappeared in no time. So easy and with ingredients we usually have on hand. Thank you Jessica!
I love this idea! Such a fun snack idea!
Delicia de churros, obrigado pelo post.
I wonder if you could do it with regular refrigerated biscuits? Roll them flat and twist. I’m going to try it tonight and see if it works, I’ll let you know.
Thanks for the idea.
Oh I am SO doing this!!!
Genius! And no long lines or fry time. These look super tasty!
I was like, oh, of course Disney has good gf options, because Ive been to Disneyland a few times in the past few years. But I did not know Disney World has always gluten-free churros! Thats amazing! Though it always kind of alarms me when gf food looks the same as gluten food.
What a great dessert and would go perfectly with Taco Tuesday’s!
These churro twists look so fun! They are bound to disappear fast!
I could snack on those all evening!
