Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep skillet to 350°F, or until a wooden spoon handle bubbles vigorously when held in the oil.

  2. Step 2

    While oil heats, mix cinnamon and sugar in a shallow bowl until evenly combined.

  3. Step 3

    Once oil is ready, fry churro dough in batches (don't crowd the pan) until golden brown and crispy, turning once, about 2–3 minutes per batch.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer churros to paper towels, then immediately toss in the cinnamon-sugar mixture while still warm.

  5. Step 5

    Heat chocolate and cream together in a small microwave-safe bowl, 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.

  6. Step 6

    Serve warm churros with the chocolate dip on the side.
