Ingredients

Scale

Churro Dough

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp plant-based butter
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon (natural)

Plant-Based Chocolate Dip

  • 100g dark chocolate (plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Dough: In a saucepan, combine water, plant-based butter, salt, and granulated sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring gently until the butter melts. Remove from heat and add all the flour at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until a smooth dough ball forms that pulls away from the pan.
  2. Adding Flavors and Cooling: Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool for a few minutes until warm but not hot. Stir in the vanilla extract (natural) to enhance the flavor.
  3. Preparing for Frying: Heat vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to 180°C (350°F). Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip for classic ridges.
  4. Frying the Churros: Pipe 4 to 5-inch lengths of dough into the hot oil using scissors to cut. Fry in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side until deep golden and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  5. Coating in Cinnamon Sugar: While still warm, gently toss the churros in a mixture of cinnamon (natural) and granulated sugar for a sweet, aromatic finish.
  6. Making the Plant-Based Chocolate Dip: Melt the dark chocolate (plant-based) with plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan, whisking until smooth and glossy. Stir in the natural gelling agent to achieve the right consistency. Serve warm alongside the churros.
