To make Taco Bell Cinnabon Delights at home, start with gathering your ingredients. For the donuts, you need flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, an egg, milk, melted butter, oil for frying, and cinnamon sugar. For the cream cheese filling, you’ll need powdered sugar, softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, and milk.
Begin by whisking together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir in the egg, milk, and melted butter until just combined. Heat the oil in a deep frying pan to 375°F. Drop the batter by teaspoonfuls into the hot oil, frying 5-6 at a time. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels and roll the donuts in cinnamon sugar.
Next, prepare the cream cheese filling. Whip the cream cheese and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and milk until you reach the desired consistency. Make sure the mixture is smooth and creamy.
To assemble, place the filling in a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the corner cut off. Poke a hole into the side of each donut and fill with the cream cheese mixture, moving the tip around to distribute the filling evenly.
Using full-fat milk and cream cheese will give you the best results. If the cinnamon sugar doesn’t stick well, roll the donuts in a bit of butter before coating. Enjoy your homemade Taco Bell Cinnabon Delights, perfect for satisfying those sweet cravings!
