INGRIDIENTS:
2 Cups Water
5 Tbsp Sugar
1 Tsp Salt
4 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
2 Cups Unbleached flour
Enough oil for deep frying
1 Cup Sugar
3 Tsp Ground cinnamon
CHOCOLATE SAUCE:
1 14 oz Can Condensed milk (You will need half of it)
1/4 Cup 72///5 cacao dark chocolate chips (Trader Joe’s)
INSTRUCTIONS:
In a medium size saucepan combine/whisk water, sugar, salt and vegetable oil and bring to a soft boil. Remove from heat and slowly add flour while whisking, until fully combined.
I like to give it a quick knead with my hands while the dough is still warm and shape it into a ball.
Heat up oil for deep frying. Line up a baking sheet with parchment paper and get your piping bag fitted with a start shaped tip.
Pipe dough onto lined baking sheet in a heart shape. Fill in as needed by going another round with your piping bag until the heart has been completely filled with dough.
Chill in the fridge for 5 minutes if you see that the dough is getting too soft.
While the churros are chilling, make the chocolate sauce by adding the half of can of condensed milk to a small saucepan and on low heat warming it up. Add the chocolate chips and stir until you reach the consistency of a sauce.
Pour in serving bowl and set aside.
Deep fry the churro hearts and set them on a plate lined with a paper towel to remove excess oil. While still warm coat them with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Serve nice and warm next to the chocolate sauce.
Enjoy!
