Taco Bell Dessert Balls
Taco Bell’s dessert balls, also known as Cinnabon Delights, are a sweet treat consisting of warm, cinnamon sugar-coated dough filled with a creamy center. While the exact recipe is proprietary to Taco Bell, you can try making a similar version at home. Here’s a recipe to recreate something similar:
Ingredients for Dough:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup milk
Ingredients for Filling:
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Ingredients for Coating:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
- Cut in the softened butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the milk until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
- In another bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag or a plastic bag with a small corner cut off.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Take a small amount of dough (about a tablespoon) and flatten it in your hand. Pipe a small amount of the cream cheese mixture into the center of the dough.
- Fold the dough around the filling, forming a ball, and seal the edges.
- Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
- In a shallow dish, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the coating.
- Once the oil is heated, carefully fry the dough balls in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove the fried balls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- While still warm, roll the balls in the cinnamon sugar mixture until coated.
- Serve warm and enjoy your homemade dessert balls!
This recipe should yield a delicious dessert reminiscent of Taco Bell’s Cinnabon Delights. Adjust the filling and coating to your preference for sweetness and cinnamon flavor.
