1 cup + 3 tablespoons sugar

2 cups water
2 cups all purpose flour

gluten free, if needed
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 cup coconut cream

Instructions

1 In a small saucepan, combine the oil, water, and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Bring
it to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the flour until it forms a ball of
dough.
2 In a small bowl, mix the remaining sugar and cinnamon for the coating.
3 In a deep pot, heat 3-4 inches of oil on high until it reaches 375F or until a
piece of dough sizzles and rises to the top.
4 Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 4-5 inch
lengths of dough over the pot of oil. Fry 2-3 churros at a time until golden
brown.
5 Transfer the cooked churros onto a paper towel for 1-2 minutes, then roll them
in the cinnamon/sugar mixture. Repeat until all the dough is used up. Serve with
warm chocolate sauce.
6 For the chocolate sauce:
7 In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, heat the coconut cream until warm.
Once warm, add the chopped chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes. Whisk until you
have a thick chocolate sauce.
