Dodger Blue Churros Recipe
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 12 churros
Equipment Needed:
- Medium saucepan
- Mixing bowls (2)
- Wooden spoon
- Piping bag with a large star tip
- Deep frying pan or pot
- Tongs or slotted spoon
- Paper towels
Ingredients:
Churro Dough:
- 1 cup water
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp blueberry puree (strained to remove seeds)
- 4–5 drops blue gel food coloring (optional for a vibrant Dodger blue)
Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
For Frying:
- Vegetable oil (enough for 2–3 inches in the pan)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Blueberry Puree
If using fresh or frozen blueberries, blend them in a small food processor until smooth. Strain the puree to remove seeds and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Dough
In a medium saucepan, combine water, granulated sugar, butter, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the butter melts.
Remove from heat and add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Step 3: Incorporate the Flavors
Let the dough cool for 5 minutes. Then mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and blueberry puree. Stir until smooth. If you want a more vibrant blue color, add the gel food coloring and mix until evenly distributed.
Step 4: Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat about 2–3 inches of vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).
Step 5: Pipe the Churros
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 4–5-inch strips of dough directly into the hot oil, using scissors to cut the ends. Fry 3–4 churros at a time to avoid overcrowding.
Step 6: Fry the Churros
Fry the churros for about 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp. Remove them with tongs or a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Step 7: Coat with Cinnamon Sugar
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon. While the churros are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated.
Step 8: Serve and Celebrate
Your Dodger Blue Churros are ready to enjoy! Serve them fresh with your favorite dipping sauce or simply on their own. These are the perfect treat for celebrating the Dodgers’ historic 2024 World Series win.
Perfect Dipping Sauces and Fillings for Dodger Blue Churros
Dodger Blue Churros are a treat on their own, but pairing them with the right dipping sauces or fillings takes them to a whole new level. Whether you’re hosting a game-day party or indulging solo, these pairings will make your Dodgers churros an unforgettable dessert experience.
First up is the classic pairing: chocolate sauce. A rich, velvety chocolate dip balances the sweetness of the churros with a deep cocoa flavor that’s hard to resist. For a little twist, try a white chocolate sauce tinted with blue food coloring to match the Dodger theme. It’s a fun and visually stunning option that fans of all ages will love.
Another perfect match is a fresh blueberry compote or sauce. The tangy, fruity notes enhance the subtle blueberry flavor infused in the Dodger Blue Churros, creating a harmonious flavor profile. You could even whip up a blueberry cream cheese filling to pipe inside the churros for an extra layer of indulgence. It’s a nod to the Los Angeles Dodgers’ vibrant energy and a great way to elevate this dessert to gourmet status.
If caramel is your thing, a dulce de leche dip or salted caramel sauce is a must. The rich, buttery notes complement the cinnamon-sugar coating, making each bite of Dodgers churros feel like a celebration. For a special touch, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the sauce before serving—it’s a simple trick that takes the flavor to the next level.
And we can’t forget about international inspiration! A Japanese-style matcha dip is a unique nod to Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, blending creamy sweetness with the earthy flavor of green tea. This unexpected pairing is a fun way to celebrate the Dodgers’ global fanbase while adding a sophisticated flair to your churros.
For a lighter option, consider a whipped vanilla bean cream. This airy dip keeps the focus on the churros while adding a touch of elegance. Add a few drops of blue food coloring for a festive Dodger touch, and you’ve got a dip that’s as Instagram-worthy as it is delicious.
Finally, don’t overlook fruity fillings. Lemon curd, strawberry jam, or even a tangy orange marmalade can be piped inside the churros for a refreshing burst of flavor. These fillings bring a bright contrast to the sweet and spiced Dodgers churros, making them a crowd-pleaser at any gathering.

How to Store and Refrigerate Your Dodger Blue Churros
Dodger Blue Churros are best enjoyed fresh and warm, but if you have leftovers (or want to make them ahead for a Dodgers watch party), proper storage is key. To keep your churros tasting their best, follow these simple tips for storing and refrigerating your Dodgers churros.
If you plan to enjoy them within a day, store the churros at room temperature. Place them in an airtight container lined with parchment paper to prevent them from becoming soggy. Avoid stacking the churros directly on top of one another, as this can crush their crispy coating. They’ll maintain their signature crunch for up to 24 hours this way.
For longer storage, refrigerate your Dodger Blue Churros. Allow them to cool completely before placing them in a container lined with paper towels to absorb excess moisture. This helps keep the cinnamon-sugar coating intact. Stored properly, they’ll stay fresh for up to three days. When ready to serve, reheat them in an oven or air fryer at 350°F for a few minutes to restore their crispy texture—just like when they were freshly made.
Freezing is another great option if you want to prep your Dodgers churros well in advance. Freeze them unfrosted in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll stay delicious for up to two months. To enjoy, thaw at room temperature and crisp them up in the oven before serving. Whether you’re storing, refrigerating, or freezing, these tips ensure your Dodger Blue Churros are always game-day ready!
