Ingredients:
For the Churros:
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- Cooking spray
For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the Chocolate Dipping Sauce:
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium-high heat until the mixture comes to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Once the dough has cooled slightly, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue mixing until the dough becomes smooth and shiny.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Transfer the churro dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe the dough into 4-inch long strips directly into the air fryer basket, cutting the dough with scissors or a knife.
- Cook the churros in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, turning them once halfway through.
- While the churros are cooking, prepare the cinnamon sugar coating by combining sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Set aside.
- Once the churros are done, remove them from the air fryer and immediately roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- For the chocolate dipping sauce, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the sauce is smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Serve the freshly cooked churros with the warm chocolate dipping sauce on the side. Dip, savor, and enjoy!
