How to Make Churros With Dipping Chocolate
- **Hot Chocolate Dipping Sauce:**
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup water and 1 cup granulated sugar to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/2 cup whole milk.
- Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until the chocolate is thick and smooth, about 5 minutes.
- Set aside.
- **Churros:**
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup water, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Add 2 cups all-purpose flour all at once and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until a smooth ball forms. (This is important!)
- Reduce heat to low and cook, flattening and turning the dough with the spoon for 2 minutes. This helps cook out the flour taste.
- Let the dough cool slightly. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a 3/8-inch star tip.
- Pour vegetable oil (at least 1 inch deep) into a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or deep fryer. Heat over high heat until a cube of bread browns quickly (this is a good test for the ideal temperature). **Caution:** Hot oil splatters – be careful!
- Pipe 5-inch lengths of churro dough into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Reduce heat to medium-high. Fry until the churros puff and are lightly golden, about 20 seconds per side. Do not overcook. The churros should be crunchy outside and soft inside.
- Remove churros with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Immediately toss the warm churros in 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
- Arrange 4 churros per plate.
- **To serve:** Reheat the chocolate sauce over very low heat. Divide into 6 espresso cups or small bowls. Place the bowls off-center on dessert plates.
- Dip and enjoy!
