→ Main Ingredients
01 -
16 slices white bread (crusts removed)
02 -
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
03 -
3/4 cup powdered sugar
04 -
1 cup granulated sugar
05 -
2 tsp cinnamon
06 -
3/4 cup butter (melted)
# Instructions:
01 -
In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, mixing well. Pour melted butter into a third shallow bowl.
02 -
Remove the crusts from each slice of white bread. Using a rolling pin, flatten each bread slice to make it thinner and more pliable.
03 -
Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each flattened bread slice. Roll each slice up tightly, starting from one end, to form a cylinder shape.
04 -
Dip each rolled bread stick first into the melted butter, ensuring it's coated all around. Then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture until completely covered.
05 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the coated rolls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
06 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the sticks are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
07 -
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
# Notes:
01 -
These sweet treats are sometimes called 'Churro Sticks' or 'Cinnamon Roll Sticks' because of their similar flavor profile.
02 -
Best served fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container for 1-2 days. Reheat in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes to restore crispness.
03 -
For a flavor variation, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture or a dash of nutmeg to the cinnamon sugar.
