Vegan Churros with Chocolate Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 cup Water
• 6 tablespoons Vegan Butter
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Tapioca Starch
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1 cup Vegan Chocolate Chips
• 1/2 cup Coconut Milk

Instructions

1. 1In a medium saucepan, combine the 1 cup Water, 6 tablespoons Vegan Butter, and 1/4 teaspoon Salt. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
2. 2Remove the saucepan from the heat. Immediately add the 1 cup Tapioca Starch and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until a smooth dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
3. 3Stir in the 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract until fully incorporated into the dough. Let the dough cool in the saucepan for 5 minutes.
4. 4Transfer the slightly cooled dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. In a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C) over medium-high heat.
5. 5Carefully pipe lengths of dough, about 4 inches long, directly into the hot oil, using kitchen scissors to cut the dough from the piping bag. Fry in batches, without overcrowding the pot, for 2-3 minutes per side, or until deeply golden brown and crispy.
6. 6Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked churros to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. In a medium bowl, combine the 1/2 cup Sugar and 1 teaspoon Cinnamon; add the warm churros and toss gently until they are evenly coated.
7. 7For the chocolate sauce, in a small saucepan, combine the 1 cup Vegan Chocolate Chips and 1/2 cup Coconut Milk. Heat over low heat, stirring continuously with a whisk or spoon, until the chocolate chips are fully melted and the sauce is smooth and glossy.
8. 8Serve the warm churros immediately with the warm chocolate sauce for dipping.
