CHURRO ICE CREAM BOWLS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a 1.5-quart saucepan over medium-high heat, add butter, brown sugar, salt, and water, and bring to a boil.
• As soon as the butter has fully melted and the mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and add in flour. Using a wooden spoon, stir until the dough comes together to form a ball (about 1 minute).
• Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes before proceeding to the next step (to prevent accidentally cooking the eggs).
• Mix in the vanilla extract and add in the eggs, one at a time, being sure to fully incorporate each egg before adding the next.
• Once all the eggs are incorporated, transfer it to a piping bag with a small star tip.
• Invert a muffin tin and spray thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray. Pipe the dough around the inverted cups in spirals to form the bowls. Immediately transfer the tray to the freezer and freeze until solid (about 3 hours or overnight).
• Heat oil in a deep pot to 350˚F (175˚C). Remove the muffin tin from the freezer and flex it to release the churro bowls (you may need to also use a butter knife under the bottom edge to initially release them). Return any extras to the freezer while you wait to fry.
• Fry them in batches, until nicely browned, no more than 3 minutes at a time. Be sure to carefully turn them so they fry evenly.
• Once desired color is reached, remove them from the oil to a paper towel-lined plate. Dab off any excess oil then roll them in cinnamon sugar.
• Fill with your favorite ice cream and toppings.
• Enjoy!

CHURRO ICE CREAM CONES

Steps:

• In order to mold the cones, you will need a sheet of white paper cut into fourths, staples and aluminum foil.
• In a bowl, stir flour, sugar, salt, dry yeast.
• In another bowl, stir warm milk and yolk. Add to the flour mixture. Then knead until smooth. Add melted butter and continue until its smooth and elastic. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth. Let it stand in a warm area until the dough doubles in size [approx. 1-2 hours].
• Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Roll them into 16-inch-long strands about 1/2" to 1" thick. Cover them loosely and let it stand in a warm area for approximately 15minutes.
• Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
• Mix sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
• Using a quarter sheet of paper create a cone shape. Staple it [do not use tape as it will melt in the oven]. Then wrap aluminum foil to reinforce the cone mold.
• Wrap the doughnut roll around the cone mold.
• Brush with egg white and sprinkle or roll the cone in the sugar-cinnamon mixture.
• Bake for 15 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let it cool down. Scoop your favorite ice cream into the cone. Drizzle chocolate syrup on top.

CHURRO ICE CREAM SUNDAE

Steps:

• Line a rimmed baking sheet with plastic wrap.
• Using a scoop, place 4, ½-cup balls of ice cream onto the prepared baking sheet. Freeze for 1 hour. Once hardened, shape ice cream with hands to round out bottoms.
• Whisk egg white until frothy in a medium bowl. Place Corn Flakes in a shallow dish. Dip ice cream in egg to coat completely and then coat in corn flakes. Return to prepared pan and freeze for 4 hours.
• Stir sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Heat 2 inches of oil in medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan to 375⁰F. Add ice cream in batches of 2 and fry for 15 seconds, turning gently with a slotted spoon. Remove with slotted spoon.
• Remove and place in 4 bowls, adding a ¼ cup of whipped topping on each. Distribute pineapple and raspberries evenly among the bowls. Sprinkle each sundae with 1 tsp cinnamon sugar.
• Tip: To make this dish even more authentic, drizzle with chocolate sauce and dulce de leche.

CHOCOLATE COOKIE CHURRO ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Crush 6 of the chocolate sandwich cookies with your hands into a medium bowl. Pour the milk over the cookies. Set aside to soak for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pulse the remaining 6 cookies in a food processor until broken into small pieces. Add the cocoa powder and pulse until the cookies are finely ground into a dark powder. Add the flour and pulse until combined. Sift the dry ingredients into a medium bowl; set aside.
• Strain the cookie milk into a heavy-bottomed saucepot (discard the soaked cookie crumbs). Add the butter, salt and 1/2 cup water. Cook over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is just below a simmer, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the dry ingredients. Add the eggs one by one, whisking vigorously for 30 seconds after each addition, until a smooth dough comes together. Scrape the dough into a pastry bag fitted with a small star tip.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Pipe the dough into 2 1/4-inch rounds starting in the center and moving in a circular motion. Repeat until all of the dough has been piped (about 24 rounds). Place the baking sheets in the freezer for at least 1 hour.
• When ready to cook the churros, pour the oil into a large heavy-bottomed saucepot fitted with a deep-frying thermometer. Heat the oil over medium heat until the thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and top with a wire cooling rack. Put the sugar in a wide dish.
• Carefully lower the churros a few at a time into the hot oil. Be sure not to crowd the oil or the temperature will drop. Control the heat to maintain 350 degrees F. Fry until the churros rise to the surface of the oil, about 2 minutes. Drain on the prepared cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining churros. Allow the churros to cool slightly.
• Toss the churros in the sugar until completely coated, then tap gently against the side of the dish to remove any excess. Put the churros back on the cooling rack.
• Scoop about 1/4 cup of the ice cream onto 12 of the churros. Top the scoops of ice cream with the remaining churros and gently press down to create sandwiches. Serve immediately.

CHURROS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine water, 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, salt and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in flour until mixture forms a ball.
• Heat oil for frying in a deep fryer or deep pot to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Pipe 5- to 6-inch strips of dough into the hot oil using a sturdy pastry bag fitted with a medium star tip. Do not overcrowd the oil. Fry until golden; drain on paper towels.
• Combine 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon. Roll drained churros in cinnamon and sugar mixture.

CHURROS ICE CREAM SANDWICH

Steps:

• Boil the kettle, then measure 300ml boiling water into a jug and add the melted butter and vanilla extract. Sift the flour and baking powder into a large mixing bowl with a generous pinch of salt. Make a well in the centre, then pour in the contents of the jug and very quickly beat into the flour with a wooden spoon until lump-free.
• Cut out 6 10cm x 10cm squares of baking parchment and grease them well with oil. Transfer the churro batter to a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle, and pipe spiraled circles of batter onto the parchment. This is easiest if you start from the centre, and swirl the nozzle round and round until you reach the edge of the paper, avoiding any gaps. Chill for 45 mins, or up to 2 hrs, until the batter feels firm to the touch.
• Fill a large deep saucepan one-third full of oil. Heat until a cube of bread browns in 45 seconds - 1 min (about 180C). Cover a tray with kitchen paper and mix the caster sugar and cinnamon together.
• Remove the churros from the fridge and drop 2 or 3 directly into the pan, discarding the parchment. Fry until golden brown and crisp, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain on the kitchen paper-lined tray. Carry on cooking the rest of the dough in batches, sprinkling the cooked churros with some cinnamon sugar as you go. Once you've cooked all the churros, toss with any remaining cinnamon sugar and sandwich with balls of your favourite ice cream.
