1 cup of water 1 cup
2 tablespoons of sugar 2 tablespoons
1/2 teaspoon of salt 1/2 teaspoon
1/2 cup of unsalted butter 1/2 cup
1 cup of all-purpose flour 1 cup
Vegetable oil for frying as needed
1/4 cup of sugar 1/4 cup
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon
Your favorite flavor of ice cream as desired

Take note
Be careful while working with hot oil and the hot churros. Make sure to handle the ice cream with care to prevent it from melting too quickly.

1

Make the churro dough

In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 cup of unsalted butter. Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add 1 cup of all-purpose flour. Stir vigorously until the dough forms a ball.

2

Fry the churros

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the churro dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe 4-6 inch long churros into the hot oil, cutting them off with a pair of scissors. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the churros from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

3

Coat the churros

In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Roll the warm churros in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.

4

Assemble the ice cream sandwiches

Take your favorite flavor of ice cream and let it soften slightly at room temperature. Sandwich a scoop of ice cream between two churros and gently press together. You can also roll the edges of the ice cream sandwiches in colorful sprinkles, if you'd like.

5

Freeze and enjoy

Place the Churro Ice Cream Sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 1 hour. This will allow the ice cream to firm up and the churros to become extra crispy. Once frozen, they're ready to enjoy! Serve them at your fiesta and watch everyone do the happy dance.
