Prepare the Churros
- Cook the mini frozen churros according to package directions. If using an air fryer, typically 375°F (190°C) for 6-8 minutes, or until golden and crispy. If using an oven, bake as directed. Allow them to cool for 5 minutes.
- Once slightly cooled, finely chop the churros into small, pea-sized pieces. Set aside.
Assemble the Yogurt Bites
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped churro pieces into the yogurt mixture.
- Using a small cookie scoop (about 1.5-inch diameter) or two spoons, drop rounded spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. You should get about 16-18 bites.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until completely solid.
Coat and Serve
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the churro coating.
- Once the yogurt bites are frozen solid, remove them from the freezer. In a separate small bowl, melt the unsalted butter.
- Working quickly, dip each frozen yogurt bite briefly into the melted butter, allowing any excess to drip off. Immediately transfer it to the cinnamon-sugar mixture and toss to coat evenly.
- Return the coated bites to the parchment-lined baking sheet and place them back in the freezer for an additional 15-20 minutes to ensure the coating sets.
- Serve immediately from the freezer. Enjoy!
Notes
Store any leftover Frozen Churro Yogurt Bites in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. They are best enjoyed directly from the freezer to maintain their firm texture and prevent melting.
