Cuisine: Mexican

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup vegetable or canola oil for frying
  • 1 cup + 3 tablespoons sugar divided
  • 2 cups water for the dough
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon for flavor
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream for dipping
  • 1 cup chocolate chopped, for dipping sauce

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Pastry bag or zip-top bag
  • Frying Pan or Deep Fryer
  • Slotted spoon
  • Plate lined with paper towels

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the water and vegetable or canola oil. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in the flour until a smooth dough forms. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
  2. Transfer the cooled dough to a pastry bag fitted with a star tip or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off.
  3. In a frying pan or deep fryer, heat enough vegetable or canola oil to submerge the churros (about 2 inches deep) to around 350°F (175°C).
  4. Pipe strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting to desired length. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown, flipping with a slotted spoon.
  5. Remove churros from oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil, then roll in the remaining sugar and cinnamon.
  6. For the chocolate dipping sauce, melt the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave. Stir in coconut cream until smooth.
  7. Serve your warm Vegan Churros with the chocolate sauce for dipping. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Try using coconut oil for a healthier frying option.
  • Store cooled churros in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
