Cocoa PEBBLES™ Churros
Any time is a good time for a churro. Fortunately, we've got an easy-to-make recipe featuring Cocoa PEBBLES cereal!
Ingredients
Cinnamon and Cocoa Pebbles Coating
- ½ cup Cocoa PEBBLES™ cereal
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Cocoa Pebbles Churros
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ¾ cup all-purposes flour
- ½ cup Cocoa PEBBLES™ cereal
- vegetable oil
Dulce de Leche Dipping Sauce
- ½ cup canned prepared Dulce de Leche (available in Latin markets or grocery aisles)
- ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- In a food processor, grind cereal into a fine powder.
For coating
- Combine ¼ cup ground cereal, sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Set aside.
For churro dough
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together water, sugar, salt and butter. Bring the mixture to a boil then remove it from the heat. Stir in the flour and ¼ cup ground cereal, mixing until it forms a ball.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed deep pot set over medium-high heat. There should be about 3 inches of oil in the pan as well as 3 inches above the oil to prevent it from bubbling over. Heat oil until it reaches 375 degrees F.
- Transfer the dough to a cloth or heavy-duty pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe about 6 inches of dough over the pot of oil and fry until golden-brown. Depending on the size of your pot, you can cook two or three churros at a time.
- Transfer the churros to a paper towel-lined plate. Cool for about 2 minutes, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Repeat process with remaining dough.
For dipping sauce
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine Dulce de Leche and sweetened condensed milk. Heat until melted. Serve warm with prepared churros.
