Creating Churro Cheesecake Minis is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
2. Prepare the Churro Dough: In a saucepan, combine water, butter, salt, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil.
3. Add Flour: Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in flour until the mixture forms a ball.
4. Cool Slightly: Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes.
5. Incorporate Eggs: Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
6. Pipe the Dough: Transfer the churro dough into a piping bag. Pipe small rounds into the mini muffin tin, filling each cup about halfway.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown, puffed, and firm to the touch.
