Chocolate Churros

Ingredients

• 1 pinch salt
• 300 g wheat flour type 1050
• 200 g dark chocolate couverture
• 200 ml whipping cream
• 1 tsp grated organic orange zest
• 200 ml plant-based frying oil
• 1 tbsp Raw cane sugar

Instructions

1. 1.

   Bring 500 ml water to a boil with salt, then add all the flour at once and stir with a wooden spoon. Heat for about 3 minutes while stirring until the dough forms a loose ball that separates from the pot bottom. Transfer the dough to a bowl, cover, and let rest for about 10 minutes. Then fill a piping bag fitted with a medium star tip (≈1 cm).

2. 2.

   Chop the chocolate and melt it in a metal bowl over a hot water bath while stirring, adding the cream. Let the sauce cool slightly before mixing in the orange zest.

3. 3.

   Heat oil in a tall pot or deep fryer to 170 °C. The oil is ready when small bubbles rise on the stick of a wooden spoon placed in it.

4. 4.

   Pipe the dough into 12‑cm long pieces and fry for 4–5 minutes until golden brown, turning once. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

5. 5.

   Sprinkle the churros with sugar and serve warm with the chocolate sauce for dipping.
