Enjoy your homemade Cinnamon Churro Ice Cream Sandwiches!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- Oil for frying
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 scoop Vanilla ice cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)
- Parchment paper
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, and salt. Heat over medium heat until it 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 the heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. You can use a hand mixer for easier mixing. If desired, add vanilla extract.
- Pipe the Churros: Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 3-inch spirals onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave some space between each spiral to expand during frying.
- Fry the Churros: Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the churro spirals in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon. While the churros are still warm, toss them in the cinnamon sugar until fully coated.
- Assemble the Ice Cream Sandwiches: Once the churros are completely cooled, place a scoop of vanilla ice cream between two churro spirals. Press gently to form a sandwich.
Notes
- Make sure the dough is not too soft for easy piping; adjust flour as needed.
- Be cautious with the oil temperature; it should be consistent for perfect frying.
- For a richer flavor, try using cinnamon ice cream or adding a caramel drizzle between layers.
- These sandwiches are best served immediately after assembly to prevent melting. If necessary, freeze them for a brief time before serving.
