Transform the traditional churros recipe into a very exciting one by making the best chocolate churros ever! Take dessert to the next level! #SummerDessertWeek

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Sugar, Dixie Crystals
  • 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 3/4 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 1/2 cups Sugar, Dixie Crystals
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract, Adam's Extract
  • 2 quarts Vegetable Oil, for frying the chocolate churros in

For chocolate sauces

  • 3 1/2 ounces Milk Chocolate, for the sauce (optional)
  • 3 1/2 ounces White Chocolate, for the sauce (optional)
  • 3 1/2 ounces Dark Chocolate, for the sauce (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups Heavy Cream, divided to make three sauces (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine 1/2 cup sugar with 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and set aside.
  2. Next, mix the all purpose flour and unsweetened cocoa powder until well combined and set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the water, sugar, salt and vegetable oil. Bring the mixture to a boil then remove it from the heat. Stir in the flour mixture, mixing until it forms a ball. Let it cool a bit before working with it.
  4. Heat 3 to 4 inches of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot set over medium-high heat until it reaches 375 degrees.
  5. Using a pastry bag and a large star pastry tip start pipping the chocolate churros to your liking. They can be straight sticks, round shapes or any other shape you like. Tip: Maybe hearts for Valentine's Day! Yes, I know, it's all in the imagination. Go for it!
  6. Another tip: I pipped the chocolate churros onto a large plate and transferred them into the oil to fry on small batches. This process made it more comfortable and easy to work with.
  7. Cook for 3 minutes turning after 1 minute. Remove from oil with slotted spoon: drain on paper towels.
  8. Add warm churros to sugar mixture you have set aside. Toss to coat evenly.

Make the chocolate sauces

  1. Warm the heavy cream in a small saucepan, do not let it bowl. Pour the heavy cream over the chopped chocolate of choice. Let it sit for 1 minute then stir to combine.
  2. Dip each chocolate churro into the chocolate sauce of your choice and enjoy!
