Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup oil vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 cup + 3 tablespoons sugar divided * See notes
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups all purpose flour gluten free, if needed
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon

For the chocolate sauce

  • 1/2 cup coconut cream
  • 1 cup chocolate chopped

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, add your oil, water, and 3 tablespoons of sugar and bring it to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir through the flour, until it forms a ball of dough.

  • In a small bowl, mix together your remaining sugar and cinnamon for the coating.

  • In a deep pot, add 3-4 inches of oil. Heat on high until it reaches 190C or until a piece of dough sizzles and rises to the top.

  • Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe the dough over the pot of oil at around 4-5 inches. Pipe 2-3 churros at a time. Fry them until golden brown.

  • Transfer the cooked churros onto a paper towel for 1-2 minutes, before quickly rolling them in the cinnamon/sugar mixture. Repeat until all the dough is used up. Serve with warm chocolate sauce.

For the chocolate sauce

  • In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, heat up your coconut cream until warm. Once warm, add your chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes, before whisking into the cream until a thick chocolate sauce remains.
