How to Make Air Fryer Cinnamon Sugar Twists with Cream Cheese Dip Recipe

Ready to roll? ✨ Here’s how to create these cinnamon-swirled wonders:

  1. Thaw the dough: Get those dinner roll balls ready. You want them soft and pliable.
  2. Create the twists: Each dough ball is cut, rolled, and twisted for maximum texture.
  3. Air fry: Pop those beauties into the air fryer for a golden-brown finish.
  4. Mix the dip: While they’re frying, whip up that creamy goodness that will make you want to dunk everything in sight!

Ingredients

  • 12 frozen dinner roll balls (thawed according to package directions)

  3. Twist: Twist both ends together and pinch to secure. You want them to hold together like your sibling trying to steal your fries.
  4. Prepare the air fryer: Place the twisted dough in the air fryer basket and brush them with oil. Let them rest for about 10 minutes to get a bit puffy.
  5. Air fry: Set the air fryer until they are a beautiful golden brown. The magical moment has arrived!
  6. Make the dip: In a bowl, beat together cream cheese, vanilla, powdered sugar, and milk until the mix is smooth and dreamy.
