Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for coating)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Ice cream (your choice of flavor)
- Chocolate sauce (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, 2 tablespoons sugar, salt, and 2 tablespoons oil. Bring to a boil.
- Remove from heat and add the flour all at once. Stir until it forms a ball of dough.
- Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl. Let it cool for a few minutes before adding the eggs.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. The dough should be smooth and thick.
- Form the Bowls:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Take a muffin tin and turn it upside down. Grease the outside of each cup.
- Spoon the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe the dough around the muffin cup in a spiral, starting from the bottom and moving upwards to form a bowl shape.
- Fry the Churro Bowls:
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully remove the dough bowls from the muffin tin.
- Fry the bowls in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.
- Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Coat the Bowls:
- In a shallow bowl, mix the 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon.
- While the churro bowls are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
- Assemble the Dessert:
- Fill each churro bowl with a scoop of ice cream.
- Drizzle with chocolate sauce if desired.
Notes
- Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature to avoid soggy churros.
- You can prepare the churro bowls ahead and freeze them, then reheat in the oven before serving.
- Experiment with different ice cream flavors for variety.
- For extra crispiness, bake the churro bowls in the oven for 5 minutes after frying.
