Churros

Mexican Chocolate Sauce

Dulce de Leche Whipped Cream

Method

Churros

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in flour until fully combined. Allow to cool slightly before adding eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pan, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) for frying.

  3. 3

    Pipe the Churros

    Fill a piping bag fitted with a star tip with the churro dough. Pipe 5-inch strips of dough directly into the hot oil, cutting them with scissors.

  4. 4

    Fry the Churros

    Fry the churros until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Coat with Sugar

    In a bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Roll the warm churros in the sugar mixture until coated.

Mexican Chocolate Sauce

  1. 6

    Melt the Chocolate

    In a small saucepan over low heat, melt dark chocolate with milk, stirring until smooth.

  2. 7

    Add Flavorings

    Stir in cinnamon, vanilla extract, and sugar. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Dulce de Leche Whipped Cream

  1. 8

    Whip the Cream

    In a mixing bowl, beat heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add dulce de leche, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
