Cheesecake + Quesadilla = Our Newest Dessert Of Choice

If you've never had the pleasure of sinking your teeth into a freshly fried and cinnamon-sugar coated churro, please do yourself a favor and make these immediately! A popular Mexican, Spanish and Portugese pastry, they are richer than a traditional doughnut and can be eaten plain or dipped in melted chocolate, dulce de leche or hot chocolate.

Churros

unsalted butter

milk

water

salt

all-purpose flour

egg (at room temperature)

vanilla extract

Vegetable oil (for frying)

cinnamon

Add at least 1 inch of vegetable oil to a large heavy skillet (I recommend a 12-inch cast iron skillet). Bring the oil to 360 degrees F over medium heat.

While the oil is heating, make the dough. Place the butter, milk, water, and salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add all of the flour at once, reduce heat to medium-low and stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a ball and appears to dry out (a film or “crust” will develop on the sides and bottom of the pan), another 2 to 3 minutes.

Immediately place the dough into a mixing bowl and beat on low until it stops steaming and is just warm to the touch, approximately 1 minute.

Increase mixer speed to medium and add the egg, beating until fully incorporated and scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add the vanilla extract and mix until thoroughly combined, about 1 minute. The final dough will appear smooth, creamy, and shiny.

Transfer the dough to a pastry bag fitted with an extra large open star piping tip (I recommend Ateco #829). Line a rimmed baking sheet with two layers of paper towels.

Mix together the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl and set aside.

Once the oil comes to temperature, pipe the churros directly into the oil, about 6 inches in length. Use a pair of kitchen shears to snip off the dough at the end of the piping tip. Repeat with additional churros in the oil (don’t overcrowd the pan - you should fit about 4 or 5 per batch). Turn the churros in the oil and cook until golden brown all over, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to the paper towel-lined pan to drain for about 15 seconds, or until able to be handled, then toss in the cinnamon-sugar mixture and transfer to a serving dish.

Allow the oil to back up to temperature and repeat step #7 with the remaining dough, approximately three more batches. Serve immediately!

Fresas con Crema is a traditional Mexican dessert recipe that&#x27;s made with sweetened condensed milk, whipping cream, sour cream, and strawberries.

Fresas con Crema

strawberries (, hulled)

sour cream ((or plain greek yogurt))

evaporated milk

heavy whipping cream

condensed milk (, la lechera)

Slice the strawberries into thin slices. 

Add the sour cream, evaporated milk, heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla to a mixing bowl. Beat with electric mixers for 2 minutes.

Spoon 1/2 cup of fresh sliced strawberries into a cup. Pour 1/2 cup of the cream mixture over the top. 

Serve with whipped cream on top, if desired.Serves 8 (1 cup servings)

Homemade Churros are classic and super delicious Mexican fritters. These heart shaped churros are deep fried dough that is crispy-crunchy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside. This homemade churros is very easy to make in less than 30 minutes with just 6 ingredients. 

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.

Try bunuelos sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar for a festive treat! Once fried, this golden-brown fritter has a light and airy texture with just the right amount of crispiness.

Easy Bunuelos Recipe (Only 4 Ingredients)

refined coconut oil, melted

neutral vegetable oil (canola, peanut, corn, etc.)

cane sugar

Sift the flour and baking powder into a large mixing bowl. Add the salt and whisk together. Add the melted coconut oil and water to the dry ingredients and mix.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead it to form a ball that&#39;s sticky enough to stay together, but not coming off on your hands. Keep kneading for 10-15 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.

If the dough appears too crumbly, add water 1 tablespoon at a time. If it&#39;s too sticky, similarly add a little flour while continuing to knead.

Dough

Cut the ball of dough into ~8 smaller pieces. Roll each piece of dough in between your palms until smooth and then flatten slightly. Once they are rolled and flattened, cover with a towel to rest for 30 minutes.
