Churro Ice Cream Bowls Recipes

Steps:

• Bring the milk, butter, vanilla, 2 tablespoons of the sugar and the salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low and add the flour, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the dough comes together and forms a ball, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
• Stir in the eggs one at a time, making sure that they are fully incorporated before adding the next egg. Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a medium star tip. Invert two 6-cup muffin tins, spray generously with cooking spray and dust with some flour. Pipe the dough in a spiral to form a bowl around every other cup (you should have 3 bowls on one tin and 3 bowls on the other). Transfer the tins to the freezer and freeze until completely solid, about 3 hours or up to overnight.
• Mix the remaining sugar and the cinnamon in a medium bowl. Pour 3 inches of oil in a large, deep, heavy-bottomed pot and heat to 350 degrees F. Remove the bowls from the freezer and release them from the tins using a butter knife. Fry the bowls 3 at a time, making sure they sink to the bottom and fill up with oil when they rise, until nicely browned and crispy, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip them over with a slotted spoon and fry the rim of the bowl, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and place on a paper-towel-lined plate to catch the excess oil. Roll the bowls in the cinnamon-sugar while they are still warm. Return to the plate to cool. Heat the oil back to 350 degrees F and repeat with the remaining bowls. Serve warm with your choice of filling.

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!
