Churro Ice Cream Bowls Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Separate the chocolate sandwich cookies from the cream filling into 2 separate medium bowls. Set the cream filling aside.
• Add the cookies and flour to a food processor and pulse until broken down into fine crumbs.
• In a large pot over medium heat, combine the water, butter, and ⅓ cup granulated sugar. Bring to a boil.
• Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the cookie crumb mixture with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together in a ball.
• Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and stir until completely incorporated and the batter is smooth. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a piping bag or zip-top bag fitted with a wide star tip.
• Invert a 12-cup muffin tin and grease generously with nonstick cooking spray.
• Pipe the churro dough in spirals around the inverted cups to form 6 bowls, spacing evenly. Smooth the tops with a spoon or an offset spatula. Transfer the pan to the freezer and freeze until solid, at least 3 hours, or overnight.
• Heat the canola oil in a deep pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
• Remove the muffin tin from the freezer and flex it to release the churro bowls. You may need to wiggle a butter knife under the bottom edges to loosen the bowls first.
• Add the remaining cup of sugar to a shallow bowl.
• Working with 1 or 2 bowls at a time (return any remaining bowls to the freezer until ready to fry), fry the churro bowls in the hot oil, turning occasionally for even frying, until fully cooked through, about 4 minutes. Using a spider or slotted spoon, remove the churro bowls from the oil and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Dab off any excess oil, then roll in the sugar.
• Make the whipped cream: To the bowl with the reserved cream filling, add a splash of the heavy cream and, with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed, beat until smooth. Gradually add the remaining cream and beat until stiff peaks form, 3-4 minutes.
• Fill the churro bowls with cookies and cream ice cream, drizzle with chocolate sauce, and finish with a dollop of the whipped cream. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring the water, oil, and salt to a boil.
• Add the flour and turn the heat off. Quickly stir the flour until it forms a smooth paste/ball.
• Transfer the dough into a piping bag lined with a star tip.
• Pipe 6-inch (15 cm) spirals onto a sheet lined with parchment paper, starting from the middle and going around in a circle, making sure that there are no gaps between the loops.
• Repeat with the remaining dough.
• Freeze the circles for at least 2 hours.
• Heat oil in a pot over high heat.
• Fry the circles until light golden brown, then drain them on a paper towel.
• Mix the sugar and the cinnamon in a separate bowl.
• Coat each churro disc in the cinnamon sugar mix, shaking off any excess.
• Place a scoop of ice cream in between 2 churro discs.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a 1.5-quart saucepan over medium-high heat, add butter, brown sugar, salt, and water, and bring to a boil.
• As soon as the butter has fully melted and the mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and add in flour. Using a wooden spoon, stir until the dough comes together to form a ball (about 1 minute).
• Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes before proceeding to the next step (to prevent accidentally cooking the eggs).
• Mix in the vanilla extract and add in the eggs, one at a time, being sure to fully incorporate each egg before adding the next.
• Once all the eggs are incorporated, transfer it to a piping bag with a small star tip.
• Invert a muffin tin and spray thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray. Pipe the dough around the inverted cups in spirals to form the bowls. Immediately transfer the tray to the freezer and freeze until solid (about 3 hours or overnight).
• Heat oil in a deep pot to 350˚F (175˚C). Remove the muffin tin from the freezer and flex it to release the churro bowls (you may need to also use a butter knife under the bottom edge to initially release them). Return any extras to the freezer while you wait to fry.
• Fry them in batches, until nicely browned, no more than 3 minutes at a time. Be sure to carefully turn them so they fry evenly.
• Once desired color is reached, remove them from the oil to a paper towel-lined plate. Dab off any excess oil then roll them in cinnamon sugar.
• Fill with your favorite ice cream and toppings.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Make the chocolate dipping sauce: Add the chocolate chips to a medium bowl and set aside.
• In a small saucepan, heat the cream over medium heat until beginning gently simmer. Add the cayenne and cinnamon, then remove the pot from the heat.
• Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate, then let sit for 2-3 minutes to soften the chocolate. Whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and keep warm until ready to serve.
• Make the churros: Fill a 12-inch cast iron skillet with 1½ inches of canola oil. Heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches 370°F (188°C). Line a baking sheet with 2 layers of paper towels and set a wire rack on top.
• Meanwhile, in a small stainless steel saucepan, combine the water, milk, 1 tablespoon sugar, the salt, butter, and vanilla bean seeds and pod. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
• Once boiling, remove the vanilla bean pod, then add the flour all at once. Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together in a ball and no longer sticks to the pan, about 5 minutes.
• Immediately transfer the dough to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and let cool for 5 minutes.
• With the mixer running on medium speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time, and beat until completely incorporated before adding the next, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. The dough should be smooth and creamy, like a thick custard.
• Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a 6B open star tip. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the remaining ½ cup sugar and the cinnamon.
• Working in batches of about 4 churros at a time to avoid overcrowding the pan, pipe the dough into the hot oil in 5-6-inch lengths, using a pair of kitchen scissors to snip off the dough at the end of the piping tip. Cook, turning the churros frequently, until golden brown all over, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to the wire rack to drain for about 15 seconds, then toss in the cinnamon sugar until well coated. Transfer to a serving dish. Repeat with the remaining churros, letting the oil return to temperature between batches.
• Serve the churros immediately with the chocolate sauce for dipping.
• Enjoy!
