## How to Make Churro Cheesecake Donut Sandwiches
## Ingredients
– 16 store-bought mini donuts
– Cheesecake Filling:
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– Churro Coating:
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
– 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
## Directions
1. Begin by preparing the cheesecake filling. In a bowl, smooth the softened cream cheese by beating it. Gradually follow it up by adding powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and keep beating until it’s creamy and consistently mixed.
2. Prepare the churro coating next. Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish. Melt the butter separately in another bowl.
3. Move on to assembling the sandwiches. Slice each of the mini donuts into half in a horizontal manner. Spread a thick layer of cheesecake filling on the bottom half of each donut, then replace the top half, thereby creating the sandwich.
4. Now, coat these sandwiches. Start by brushing each donut sandwich with the melted butter. Roll or sprinkle each sandwich in the mixture of cinnamon-sugar, ensuring an even all-round coating.
## How to Serve Churro Cheesecake Donut Sandwiches

## How to Store Churro Cheesecake Donut Sandwiches

## Tips To Make Churro Cheesecake Donut Sandwiches
When preparing the filling, ensure that the cream cheese is softened to aid in the beating process. When spreading the filling, be generous. The creaminess of the filling provides a wonderful contrast to the crispiness of the churro coating.

Feel free to experiment by adding flavors to your cheesecake filling. A bit of lemon zest or a dash of Nutella can completely change and uplift the flavor profile.
