Ingredients
for 6 servings
- 48 chocolate sandwich cookies
- 1 cup all purpose flour (125 g)
- 2 cups water (480 mL)
- ½ stick unsalted butter
- 1 ⅓ cups granulated sugar (265 g), divided
- 2 large eggs
- nonstick cooking spray
- 2 qt canola oil (1.8 L), for frying
- 2 cups heavy cream (480 mL)
- cookies and cream ice cream, for serving
- chocolate sauce, for serving
Preparation
- Separate the chocolate sandwich cookies from the cream filling into 2 separate medium bowls. Set the cream filling aside.
- Add the cookies and flour to a food processor and pulse until broken down into fine crumbs.
- In a large pot over medium heat, combine the water, butter, and ⅓ cup granulated sugar. Bring to a boil.
- Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the cookie crumb mixture with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together in a ball.
- Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and stir until completely incorporated and the batter is smooth. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a piping bag or zip-top bag fitted with a wide star tip.
- Invert a 12-cup muffin tin and grease generously with nonstick cooking spray.
- Pipe the churro dough in spirals around the inverted cups to form 6 bowls, spacing evenly. Smooth the tops with a spoon or an offset spatula. Transfer the pan to the freezer and freeze until solid, at least 3 hours, or overnight.
- Heat the canola oil in a deep pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
- Remove the muffin tin from the freezer and flex it to release the churro bowls. You may need to wiggle a butter knife under the bottom edges to loosen the bowls first.
- Add the remaining cup of sugar to a shallow bowl.
- Working with 1 or 2 bowls at a time (return any remaining bowls to the freezer until ready to fry), fry the churro bowls in the hot oil, turning occasionally for even frying, until fully cooked through, about 4 minutes. Using a spider or slotted spoon, remove the churro bowls from the oil and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Dab off any excess oil, then roll in the sugar.
- Make the whipped cream: To the bowl with the reserved cream filling, add a splash of the heavy cream and, with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed, beat until smooth. Gradually add the remaining cream and beat until stiff peaks form, 3–4 minutes.
- Fill the churro bowls with cookies and cream ice cream, drizzle with chocolate sauce, and finish with a dollop of the whipped cream. Serve immediately.
- Enjoy!
