Notes

Store any cooled leftover churro bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day; they might soften a bit but will still be tasty.
To revive their delightful crispness, simply reheat stored churro bites in your air fryer at 300°F (150°C) for 2-3 minutes until warm and slightly firm again.
Elevate your dessert experience by serving these warm churro bites with a rich chocolate dipping sauce, creamy dulce de leche, or a scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream.
For the fluffiest, airiest bites, ensure your cooked dough base cools down to a warm (not hot) temperature before gradually incorporating the eggs, as this prevents them from scrambling and ensures a perfect choux pastry structure.
