Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
3/4 cup sugar
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 -12 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup water
1/4 cup light olive oil, not extra-virgin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
peanut oil or canola oil (for deep frying)
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 cup heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks

Steps:

  • Pour 5 1/2 cups milk into a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Add the remaining 1/2 cup milk to form a smooth paste.
  • Heat the milk over medium heat and add cocoa mixture just before the milk boils.
  • Allow to boil, stirring constantly for one minute or until slightly thickened.
  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and 8 ounces of the chocolate. Stir until chocolate is completely melted and combined. Add more chocolate, little by little, to taste.
  • Set aside and keep warm.
  • Start the churros.
  • Combine the water, olive oil, and salt in a medium heavy-bottomed non-aluminum saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Remove from heat and add all the flour. Stir briskly with a wooden spoon until the dough gathers in a clump around the spoon and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
  • Place the pan over medium heat and stir the batter briskly for 30-60 seconds more to dry out any excess moisture and eliminate raw flour taste.
  • Turn the dough out onto an aluminum foil-lined work area.
  • Pat the dough into an 8 inch circle and let cool for 5 minutes. Return the dough to the pan.
  • One at a time, beat the eggs into the dough, stirring briskly after each addition just until the egg is fully incorporated and the dough is smooth.
  • The dough should end up smooth, slightly sticky, and malleable, but firm enough to form soft peaks and hold its shape when piped or scooped.
  • Pour 3 inches of oil into a heavy pan or deep fryer. Heat the oil to 365°F.
  • Meanwhile, stir the sugar and cinnamon together in a large, shallow dish.
  • Put a large, star-shaped pastry tip into a pastry bag and pipe strips or coils of dough into the hot oil.
  • Fry one large spiral or 4 strips at a time.
  • Fry until golden brown, using tongs to turn the pastries about 2 minutes per side.
  • Use a wire-mesh skimmer to transfer the hot churros to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • While still warm, roll the churros in the cinnamon-sugar.
  • Place churros on a baking sheet and keep warm at 200°F in an oven.
  • Betwen each batch of churros, allow the oil to return to 365°F
  • When all the churros are finished, gently rewarm hot chocolate if necessary.
  • Pour the hot chocolate into six 1-cup bowls or cups and top each with a dollop of whipped cream. Serve with churros for dipping.
