Equipment

• 1 Medium saucepan
• 1 Whisk
• 1 Wooden Spoon or Spatula
• 1 Large pastry bag fitted with a large star tip
• 1 Deep fryer or large pot
• 1 Tongs or slotted spoon
• 1 Paper towel-lined plate
• 1 Serrated knife
• 1 Baking sheet lined with parchment paper

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 Cup Water
• 1/4 Cup Unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• 2 Tbsp Granulated sugar
• 1/4 Tsp Salt
• 1 1/4 Cup All-purpose flour
• 2 Large Eggs
• Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
• 1 Pint Your favorite ice cream
• Optional Toppings
• Chocolate sauce
• Caramel sauce
• Chopped nuts
• Sprinkles
• Whipped cream

Instructions

 

• Make the Churro Dough:

  In a saucepan, heat water, butter, sugar, and salt over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low. Immediately add flour and stir vigorously until the dough pulls away from the sides and forms a ball. Continue to cook over low heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to slightly dry out the dough.
• Incorporate Eggs:

  Remove pan from heat. Transfer dough to a large bowl. Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.
• Pipe and Fry Thick Churros:

  Transfer dough to the pastry bag. Pipe thicker churros (about 1.5-inch diameter) in 4-5 inch lengths. Fry in batches until deep golden brown, flipping once.
• Cool and Slice:

  Allow the churros to cool completely. Carefully slice each churro lengthwise, keeping the bottom intact (like a hot dog bun).
• Fill with Ice Cream:

  Let your ice cream soften slightly for easier scooping. Fill each churro "bun" with a generous scoop of ice cream.
• Freeze:

  Place the filled churro sandwiches on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the ice cream has thoroughly refrozen.
• Add Toppings (Optional):

  If desired, drizzle with sauces, sprinkle with nuts, or add other toppings before serving.

Notes

Serving Suggestions: Enjoy as a delightful frozen treat! These are best served immediately after being taken out of the freezer.

Storage Guidance: Assembled sandwiches should be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 5 days.

Recipe Notes:

• Extra Eggs: The additional egg in this recipe helps create a sturdier base.
• Drying the Dough: Cooking the dough for an extra minute or two on low heat helps create a slightly drier dough, which holds up well.
