### Ingredients:

#### For the **Churro Dough**:
– 1 cup **water**
– 1/2 cup **unsalted butter**
– 1 tablespoon **granulated sugar**
– 1/4 teaspoon **salt**
– 1 cup **all-purpose flour**
– 2 large **eggs**
– 1 teaspoon **vanilla extract**
– **Oil** for frying

#### For the **Cheesecake Filling**:
– 8 oz **cream cheese**, softened
– 1/4 cup **granulated sugar**
– 1 teaspoon **vanilla extract**
– 1/4 cup **heavy cream**

#### For the **Cinnamon Sugar Coating**:
– 1/2 cup **granulated sugar**
– 1 tablespoon **cinnamon**

### Directions:

#### 1. **Make the Cheesecake Filling:**
– In a bowl, beat the softened **cream cheese** and **sugar** together until smooth and creamy.
– Add the **vanilla extract** and **heavy cream**, and mix until everything is well combined. The mixture should be smooth and thick.
– Spoon the cheesecake mixture into a piping bag or a plastic sandwich bag (with the tip cut off) and set it in the fridge to chill while you prepare the churro dough.

#### 2. **Prepare the Churro Dough:**
– In a medium saucepan, bring the **water**, **butter**, **sugar**, and **salt** to a boil over medium heat. Stir occasionally to ensure the butter melts completely.
– Once the mixture begins to boil, remove the saucepan from the heat and add the **flour** all at once. Stir vigorously until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
– Let the dough cool for about 5 minutes. Once cooled slightly, beat in the **eggs**, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the **vanilla extract**. The dough should be thick and smooth.

#### 3. **Assemble the Churro Cheesecake Bites:**
– Heat about **2 inches** of oil in a large pan or deep fryer to **350°F (175°C)**.
– While the oil heats, carefully pipe a small amount of the chilled **cheesecake filling** into the center of the dough. You want to add just enough to fill the center without overstuffing.
– Once the filling is added, gently pinch the edges of the dough together to seal it around the cheesecake filling. Form the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in size.

#### 4. **Fry the Bites:**
– Carefully drop the dough balls into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the bites for about **3-4 minutes**, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

#### 5. **Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:**
– While the cheesecake bites are still warm, combine the **sugar** and **cinnamon** in a small bowl.
– Roll each cheesecake bite in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until they are fully coated. This will give the churro bites that signature sweet and spicy flavor that makes churros so irresistible.

#### 6. **Serve and Enjoy:**
– Let the bites cool for just a moment before serving. These churro cheesecake bites are best enjoyed fresh and warm. You can serve them on a platter for a crowd or simply enjoy a few yourself.
