WHAT YOU NEED
- ½ cup plus 1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup water
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil plus more for deep frying, divided
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Cacique® Crema Mexicana Agria
- 2 tablespoons chocolate flavored powdered
HOW TO MAKE IT
- Combine ½ cup sugar with ground cinnamon in a medium bowl. Heat water in a small saucepan over medium heat, add 1 ½ tablespoons sugar, salt and 2 tablespoons oil. Whisk ingredients to combine and bring to a boil, remove from heat and immediately stir in flour until a dough ball forms. Transfer dough to a thick pastry bag fitted with a large star tip.
- Line a serving plate with paper towels. Heat 2 inches deep of oil in a medium pot. Gently drop a piece of dough in oil. Oil should bubble over dough when ready. Pipe 3 inches of dough in oil. Gently pipe 2-3 more times to fry churros in batches until golden brown. Remove churros with long-handled skimmer and transfer to paper towel-lined plate to drain for 4 minutes. Transfer to cinnamon sugar mixture and coat evenly. Serve with chocolate cream sauce.
- To make Chocolate Cream Sauce: Combine crema with chocolate flavored powder. Stir until completely combined. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
