Equipment

  • Stand mixer or hand mixer with whisk attachment
  • Small bowl
  • Medium bowl
  • rubber or silicone spatula
  • Plastic wrap or use medium bowl with lid

Ingredients

For the Churro Dip

  • 1 8-ounce block cream cheese
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream cold
  • ¾ packed cup brown sugar see Notes
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup crushed cinnamon sugar cereal see Notes

To Serve (All Optional)

  • graham crackers
  • pretzels or pretzel chips
  • apple slices
  • vanilla wafers
  • churro chips my personal preference!
  • waffle cone chips

Instructions

  • In small bowl, whip cold heavy cream on high speed 2 to 3 minutes or until stiff peaks form. Set aside. Note: Chilling bowl and whisk first can help cream whip up faster.
  • Add cream cheese to other bowl. Use mixer on medium speed to mix cream cheese until light and fluffy, then slowly mix in brown sugar and cinnamon until fully combined.
  • Use spatula to stir in crushed cinnamon cereal, mixing until thoroughly combined. Gently fold in whipped cream, being careful not to stir too much or too vigorously.
  • Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until 1 hour before serving. Remove from fridge and bring to room temperature before serving, then garnish with additional crushed cereal and serve.

Notes

  • Sugar: You can use Brown Swerve, coconut sugar, Sukrin, or golden monk fruit instead of brown sugar.
  • Cinnamon Sugar Cereal: Classic Cinnamon Toast Crunch works really well here, but you could also use churro cereal or really any other type of cinnamon cereal. I typically use an organic cinnamon cereal for ingredients that are a little less processed.
  • Make it Keto: Use Brown Swerve or Sukrin and substitute a keto cinnamon cereal (like Catalina Crunch).
  • Make it Gluten Free: Use a gluten-free cinnamon cereal like Van's Cinnamon Heaven.
