Ingredients
Scale
Dough:
- 12 frozen dinner roll balls (thawed according to package directions)
- 3 tbsp canola oil
Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp salted butter (melted)
Cream Cheese Dip:
- 4 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 5 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Cut and Shape Dough: Cut each thawed dinner roll ball in half to create 24 equal portions. This ensures each twist is the perfect size for individual servings.
- Twist the Dough: Roll each portion into a 6-inch long rope or ‘snake’. Twist both ends of each rope together and pinch the ends securely to hold the shape.
- Prepare for Air Frying: Arrange the twisted dough pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Brush each twist with the canola oil and let them rest briefly before cooking to help the dough relax.
- Air Fry the Twists: Cook the twists in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 8-10 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Dip: In a mixing bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese with vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and milk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Coat and Serve: Immediately brush the hot twists with melted salted butter, then generously coat them with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Serve warm alongside the cream cheese dip for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure the dinner roll dough is completely thawed before starting for best results.
- Adjust the cinnamon sugar amounts to suit your preferred level of sweetness.
- Try different flavored dips like chocolate or caramel for a tasty variation.
