These easy vegan churros are the perfect thing to dunk in a dark chocolate ganache. Crispy on the outside, and doughy on the inside. Need we say more?

Easy Vegan Churro Recipe

water (0.01)

salt (0.02)

¼ cup neutral vegetable oil (0.08)

all-purpose flour (0.14)

sugar

cinnamon (0.08)

dark chocolate bar (1.92)

full-fat coconut milk (0.20)

vanilla

cinnamon

To begin, bring the water, salt, and ¼ cup vegetable oil to a low boil in a medium saucepan. Once boiling, remove the mixture from heat and pour into a mixing bowl with the flour. Stir until well-combined, then let the dough cool for about 15 minutes.

In the meantime, make the cinnamon sugar coating by combining the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl or plate. Set aside.

Once it has cooled, transfer the dough to a piping bag with a large star-tip attachment. Then, bring 5-6 cups of vegetable oil (enough to fully submerge the churros) to 350-375°F in a deep pot.

It&#039;s ideal to use a thermometer when working with oil. If you don&#039;t have one, test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of dough in. If it sizzles and floats to the top, then you should be good to go.

Squeeze 2-3 pieces of dough out at a time over the pot of oil (around 4-6 inches long). Cut each piece with a pair of scissors or a knife. Note: don&#039;t cook more than 3 at a time since the oil temperature will drop too much.

Fry the churros until golden brown, about 2-4 minutes per batch. Using a slotted spoon, remove each one from the oil onto a paper towel-lined plate. Leave them for about 30-60 seconds before rolling in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Churros

To make the chocolate sauce, melt the chocolate, coconut milk, cinnamon, and vanilla together in a double boiler over low heat. Stir constantly until the chocolate has melted, then transfer to a serving dish.

Alternatively, you can microwave the chocolate sauce ingredients in a heat-safe bowl for 10-15 second increments. Be careful to stop and stir frequently as it&#039;s easier to burn the chocolate in the microwave.

Serve the churros while warm with a side of chocolate sauce for a crispy, Mexican-style treat!

Homemade Mexican Churros Recipe | Mexican fritters

Unsalted Butter

Water

Sugar

tsp Vanilla extract (optional)

Plain flour

Cinnamon powder

Salt

Eggs

In a plate add the sugar and cinnamon and give a good mix. keep it aside.

To make the cinnamon sugar

In a large saucepan place butter, sugar, water, cinnamon on medium-high heat and bring it to a boil.

Once it comes to a boil reduce heat to medium-low and add the flour slowly and stir it constantly with a spatula.

Stir it until the pastry dough comes together and it is smooth with no lumps.

Now transfer it in a large bowl and let it cool for 5-6 minutes or until warm to touch.

Meanwhile heat oil for frying in skillet over medium heat. The oil is of right temperature when a small piece of churro dough when dropped into oil comes up immediately.

Then break in one egg at a time and with an electric hand whisk, mix it allowing to incorporate the egg before adding the next one.

Blend until mixture comes together and is smooth (it will separate at first but keep mixing it will come together).

Now spoon the dough into pastry bag fitted with star tip. (I used wilton 1M)

To make the star shaped churro, squeeze a heart shaped dough on a parchment paper.

Then slowly lift it with a flat spatula and drop it in the hot oil. or carefully pipe the mixture into preheated oil, into about 5 to 6inch lengths, cut end with scissors. DO not over crowd the pan.

Let them fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer it to paper towels for a minute.

Then transfer them cinnamon sugar mixture and roll them so they are evenly coat.

Serve them hot with chocolate sauce or caramel.
