Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup water (240 ml)
  • 2 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (neutral-flavored)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (125 g), sifted
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • Oil for frying (canola or peanut oil recommended)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 6 oz (170 g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 2 ½ tablespoons sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat.
  2. Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 cup all-purpose flour until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides. Let cool for about 5 minutes.
  3. Transfer dough to a mixing bowl and beat in 1 large egg until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Pour enough oil into a deep pan to submerge churro bites about 2 inches deep. Heat to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Fill a piping bag fitted with a large star tip with dough. Pipe 1 ½ inch bite-sized pieces directly into hot oil, cutting dough with scissors. Fry in batches without overcrowding.
  6. Fry bites for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Remove with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels or wire rack.
  7. While warm, toss churro bites in a mixture of ½ cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon until evenly coated.
  8. In a heatproof bowl, combine 6 oz chopped chocolate and 2 tablespoons heavy cream. Melt gently in microwave in 20-second bursts or over double boiler, stirring until smooth.
  9. Hull and halve fresh strawberries, ensuring they are dry before dipping.
  10. Dip each churro bite halfway into melted chocolate, then immediately press a strawberry half onto the chocolate coating. Place on parchment paper to set.
  11. Let chocolate set for at least 15 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for quicker set. Serve fresh.

Notes

Keep oil temperature steady at 350°F to avoid greasy or burnt churros. Toss churro bites in cinnamon sugar while warm for best coating. Ensure strawberries are dry before dipping to prevent soggy chocolate. Baking option available at 425°F for 15 minutes.
