How To Make Taco Bell Cinnamon Balls

Here are the step-by-step directions:

Start with a package of cinnamon rolls. Unroll them and cut them in half. Roll the dough into a ball.

Dip the ball into melted butter. Then roll into cinnamon sugar. Place them in a greased air fryer basket, and air fry for 5 minutes at 350 degrees F. Either serve the cream cheese icing on the side or drizzle it on the cinnamon delights before serving.

taco bell cinnamon balls recipe tips

• Use Fresh Cinnamon and Sugar: For the best flavor, use fresh ground cinnamon and granulated sugar.
• Don’t Overcrowd the Air Fryer Basket: Place the cinnamon balls in a single layer in the air fryer basket or on a baking sheet, leaving space between each ball. Overcrowding can result in uneven cooking and less crispy balls.
• Adjust Cooking Time and Temperature: Air fryers and ovens can vary in temperature. Start checking the cinnamon balls a few minutes before the recommended cooking time to avoid overcooking.
• Toss in Cinnamon Sugar Immediately: As soon as the cinnamon balls come out of the air fryer or oven, toss them in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.
• Serve Warm: Cinnamon balls are best enjoyed warm. If making ahead, reheat them in the air fryer or oven for a few minutes to restore their crispy texture.
• Experiment with Fillings: For a twist on the classic, consider adding small pieces of chocolate or cream cheese to the center of each ball before baking. Just make sure to adjust baking times if adding fillings.

Copycat Cinnamon Taco Bell Delights Recipe Faqs

What are Cinnamon Taco Bell Delights? Cinnamon Taco Bell Delights are bite-sized, cinnamon-sugar-coated pastries with a warm, soft center.

Can I make these in the oven instead of an air fryer? Yes, you can bake these delights in the oven. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Make sure to check them frequently to prevent over-baking.

How do I get the cinnamon sugar to stick to the delights? To ensure the cinnamon sugar sticks well, coat the delights in melted butter immediately after baking. Then, roll or toss them in a cinnamon-sugar mixture while still warm.

Can I use store-bought dough for these delights? Yes, you can use store-bought dough like crescent rolls or biscuit dough as a shortcut. Simply roll out the dough, cut into small pieces, and follow the recipe instructions for coating and baking.

How can I make the filling more flavorful? For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the cinnamon sugar mixture. You can also mix a small amount of vanilla extract into the melted butter before coating.

Can I prepare these ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the delights ahead of time. After baking, let them cool completely, then store them in an airtight container. Reheat in the air fryer or oven for a few minutes to restore their crispy texture.

How should I store leftovers? Store leftover cinnamon delights in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen in the air fryer or oven.

Can I freeze the unbaked delights? Yes, you can freeze unbaked cinnamon delights. Prepare them according to the recipe, then freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag or container. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
