Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, butter, and salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring until the butter melts completely.
-
Reduce the heat to low and add the flour to the saucepan. Stir vigorously until the mixture forms a smooth dough and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, until the dough is smooth and glossy. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
-
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. In a separate bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon until well combined.
-
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep saucepan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C). Pipe the dough directly into the hot oil, cutting the churros to the desired length with a knife or scissors. Fry the churros in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
-
Remove the churros from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate. While still warm, roll the churros in the cinnamon sugar mixture until coated evenly.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
-
Fill a piping bag with the melted chocolate mixture. Insert the tip of the piping bag into each churro and gently squeeze to fill the centers with the chocolate ganache.
-
Serve the Churros De Chocolate warm and enjoy the delightful combination of crispy churros and rich, creamy chocolate filling.
