Instructions

Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, ~3 minutes. Test with a wooden spoon handle — it should sizzle immediately.

Drain churros on paper towels. Mix cinnamon and sugar in a shallow bowl, then toss warm churros to coat.
- 4
Chop chocolate and place in a small bowl. Heat cream until steaming, ~90 seconds, then pour over chocolate. Let sit 30 seconds.
- 5
