Churro Ice cream Sandwich
Who can say no to churros when you turn them into churro icecream sandwiches! These icecream churro sandwiches are crispy, moist and so good!
Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 stick cinnamon
- pinch ground cinnamon
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- oil for deep frying
- ice-cream of choice I love salted caramel truffle
Instructions
- In a saucepan, boil together water, butter, sugar, and cinnamon.
- After the mixture comes to a gentle boil, discard the cinnamon stick, turn the flame to low and dump the flour all at once.
- Remove from heat. Using a wooden spoon, whisk the flour into the mixture until it forms a ball. This will take up to 5 minutes.
- Let the dough cool slightly otherwise your egg will cook. Next, crack in the egg and mix. It will look like a mess but it will come together. It may take up to 10 minutes to mix it with a whisk. (You can use your electric mixer if you prefer).
- Scoop up the dough into a piping bag fitted with an open star tip. Pipe spirals on a tray.
- For the cinnamon sugar, combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tsp of ground cinnamon. Mix and set aside.
- Heat oil to 375 degrees F. Drop your churros two or three at a time and fry until golden brown on both sides about 6 minutes. Don't be tempted to take them out too soon because often times the insides are still not cooked all the way through.
- Drain on paper towel for a few seconds before rolling them in cinnamon sugar. Make sure you do that while they are hot because cinnamon sugar will stick easily to your churros.
- Take one churro spiral, scoop on your favorite ice-cream, top with another churro and enjoy!
- This dough makes 5 sandwiches (10 churro spirals).
