Description
Homemade churros with chocolate espresso dip and ready under 30 minutes. This is the perfect dessert for any Mexican dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup butter
Chocolate espresso dip:
- 4 Trader Joe’s Chocolate Espresso Battons
Instructions
-
In a medium pot place the water, sugar, salt and butter and mix on medium heat. Once the butter has melted give it a good mix and immediately add the flour. Lower the heat a little. Mix the flour in by using a wooden spoon. It will form into a ball with a few lumps.
-
Transfer the dough onto a mixing bowl and set a side for five minutes.
-
Add oil to the second pot and heat to 360 – 365 degrees. You should have about 2 inches of oil in the pot.
-
Mix your sugar and cinnamon in a plate or container (make sure its big enough to fit the churros).
-
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the dough in the mixing bowl and mix on low to medium until everything is well incorporated. The dough should be smooth.
-
Fill the pipping bag with the dough and begin making 3 inch long churros (or however long you like them) straight into the pot (use clean scissors to cut the dough, so it drops in the pot). You can also pipe them onto parchment paper and place them in the pot after.
-
Let the churros get golden brown and take them out straight onto a plate with the sugar. Cover the churros with the sugar mix. Transfer onto a serving plate.
- To make the dip place the chocolate in a double boiler unit the chocolate has melted. (To make a double boiler simply take a small pot, add two inches of water and heat on medium heat. Place a smaller bowl on top. Make sure it doesn’t touch the water and place the chocolates in the bowl. Mix until fully melted).
