Recipe: Cinnamon Sugar Churro Bites with Chocolate Sauce
Ingredients
For the Churro Bites:
- 1 cup water
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
For the Chocolate Sauce:
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Make the Dough:
- In a medium saucepan, combine water, granulated sugar, salt, and butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the flour all at once, stirring vigorously until the mixture forms a smooth dough and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Remove from heat and let the dough cool slightly. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until smooth.
2. Fry the Churro Bites:
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
- Pipe 1-inch pieces of dough into the hot oil, using scissors to cut the dough. Fry in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
- Remove the churro bites with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
3. Coat the Churro Bites:
- In a bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar.
- Toss the warm churro bites in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
4. Prepare the Chocolate Sauce:
- Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until just simmering.
- Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
5. Serve:
- Serve the churro bites warm with the chocolate sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
Tips for Perfect Churro Bites
- Keep the Oil Temperature Consistent: Use a thermometer to maintain the oil at 350°F for even frying.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the dough in advance and fry the churro bites when ready to serve for the best texture.
- Customize the Sauce: Swap out the chocolate sauce for caramel or dulce de leche for a fun twist.
