Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 12 thawed frozen dinner roll dough balls
- 2–3 tablespoons canola oil
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Cream Cheese Dip
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: Cut each thawed dinner roll dough ball in half, then roll each half into a 6-inch long snake shape. Twist the dough snakes to create the cinnamon sugar twists.
- Brush and rest: Lightly brush the twisted dough with canola oil. Allow the dough to puff up at room temperature for about 15 minutes before cooking.
- Preheat air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat fully for optimal cooking results.
- Air fry twists: Place the twists in the air fryer basket. Cook for 7 minutes, then carefully flip each twist and continue air frying for an additional 4-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Make cream cheese dip: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and milk until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Adjust milk quantity to reach desired dip consistency.
- Serve: Serve the warm cinnamon sugar twists alongside the cream cheese dip for dipping and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Ensure dough is completely thawed before shaping for best texture.
- Canola oil brushing helps with browning and crispiness.
- Flip the twists halfway to ensure even cooking on both sides.
- The cream cheese dip can be prepared in advance and chilled until ready to serve.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon and sugar according to personal preference.
