Method

  1. Step 1

    Combine the butter, sugar and 1 cup (250ml) water in a medium saucepan. Bring to the boil over high heat. Remove from heat. Add the flour and stir to combine. Place over high heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 mins or until dough is smooth and coming away from the side of the pan. Set aside for 10 mins to cool.
  2. Step 2

    Transfer the dough to a bowl. Use an electric mixer to beat until smooth. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, until mixture is smooth and glossy. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a 1cm fluted nozzle.
  3. Step 3

    Grease the underside of twelve 1/3-cup (80ml) muffin pan holes. Cover 6 pans with a piece of plastic wrap. Pipe the dough over the plastic wrap, around the side and base of the muffin pans. Repeat to make 6 bowls. Place in the freezer for 30 mins or until firm.

  4. Step 4

    Meanwhile, combine the extra sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl.
  5. Step 5

    Add enough oil to a large saucepan to reach 6cm up the side of the pan. Heat to 180°C over medium-high heat (when oil is ready, a cube of bread turns golden brown in 15 secs). Remove the churro bowls from the freezer. Remove 1 bowl from the pan and discard the plastic wrap. Use a slotted spoon to carefully lower the bowl into the oil. Cook for 3 mins or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Add to the cinnamon sugar and toss to coat. Repeat with the remaining bowls.
  6. Step 6

    Place churro bowls on serving plates. Fill with ice-cream and drizzle with the chocolate sauce. Serve immediately.

Recipe tip

To make the chocolate sauce you will need:

  • 100g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup (125ml) pouring cream
  • 1 tbs brown sugar

Combine the chocolate, cream and sugar in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring, until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth.

Get a perfect bowl: Cover every second muffin pan hole with plastic wrap before you start piping – this helps prevent the churro bowls from touching each other and losing their shape.
