MANILA, Philippines — Churros are sweet Mexican fritters that are usually rolled in cinnamon.
Crunchy and delicious, they are dipped in chocolate sauce. Since they have become a favorite snack item of Filipinos, the original cinnamon flavor has evolved into many different flavors — but still always paired with chocolate sauce. It’s a combination that is made in heaven.
This version by CreateWithNestle.ph, which Chef Jackie Ang Po featured in an online demonstration, comes with a rich and creamy chocolate dipping sauce.
Churros with Creamy Rich Chocolate Sauce
Ingredients:
1/2 cup water
1/2 packet Nestlé All Purpose Cream
1 stick butter
1 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3 eggs
2 cups vegetable oil
1/2 packet Nestlé All Purpose Cream
1/4 cup water
1 cup Malagos Chocolate
Procedure:
1. Combine water, 1/2 cup Nestlé All Purpose Cream, butter, sugar and salt in a pot. Mix well and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in flour and continue to cook over low heat until mixture pulls out clean from the side of the pan. Transfer to a bowl.
2. Add eggs one at a time and mix until well combined. Transfer into a piping bag fitted with star tip.
3. Preheat oil in pan. Pipe strips of dough into the oil and cut using scissors. Fry until golden brown. Transfer to a cooling rack to drain off excess oil.
4. For the chocolate sauce, combine cream and water in a small saucepan. Warm through but do not boil. Pour over chocolate chips or shards in a bowl. Allow to warm through, then mix until chocolate melts and combines into a smooth chocolate dipping sauce.
