How to Make Homemade Churro Bites with Nutella (Overview)
Making these churro bites is as easy as pie, or should I say churros? Start by boiling your little mixture of water, butter, sugar, and salt till it’s bubbling like a hot spring. Then, add flour and mix it up until it pulls away from the sides of the pot—a dough ball is born!
After a brief cooling period, mix in those eggs until it’s velvety and smooth. Next, it’s time to fry! Fill your piping bag and shape those little bites like churro-loving doughnuts. Fry them up until golden, roll them in cinnamon sugar, and finally, stuff them with Nutella. Voila, churro magic!
How to Serve Homemade Churro Bites with Nutella
Serve these heavenly churro bites warm for the ultimate experience! Pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a side of fresh strawberries for a pop of color. The crunchy sugar coating against the warm, pillowy center offers a delightful contrast with every bite. Just imagine the sweet aroma wafting through your kitchen, enticing family and friends to gather around!
How to Store Homemade Churro Bites with Nutella
These churro bites taste best fresh, but if you have leftovers (which is a rarity), you can store them in the fridge for about 2-3 days. For longer storage, pop them in the freezer, where they will last up to one month. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, just reheat in the oven until warm and crispy. Easy peasy!
Tips to Make Homemade Churro Bites with Nutella
Here are a few pro tips that will level up your churro-bite game:
- Get the oil hot enough! A test fry with a small piece of dough can help determine if the oil is ready.
- Adjust sugar and cinnamon to your taste—go wild if you like it sweet!
- Don’t overfill the churros when adding nutella; they’ll burst like a squished grape if you do!
- Be patient when frying; let them get that perfect golden color for maximum crunch!
Variation
Feeling adventurous? Try swapping Nutella with creamy peanut butter, caramel, or even a spicy chocolate sauce for a unique twist. You can also make them vegan by replacing eggs with a flax egg and using coconut oil for frying!
