How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s get to the fun part—making these scrumptious Oreo Churros! Follow these simple steps:

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the water and butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
2. Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in the flour and salt until a dough forms.
3. Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition until smooth.
4. Fold in the crushed Oreos until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
5. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. You’ll want enough oil to submerge the churros.
6. Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
7. Pipe 4-6 inch strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting them with scissors as you go.
8. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
9. In a shallow bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon. Roll the warm churros in the mixture until coated.
10. Serve warm with chocolate sauce for dipping, if desired!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your Oreo Churros turn out perfectly:

• Make sure your oil is hot enough before frying; this helps the churros cook evenly and become crispy.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan while frying; this can lower the oil temperature and result in soggy churros.
• Feel free to experiment with different toppings, like powdered sugar or even a drizzle of caramel sauce!
• If you’re short on time, these churros can be made in advance and reheated in the oven for a few minutes.

How to Serve

These Oreo Churros are best served warm and fresh. I love to present them on a beautiful platter, dusted with extra cinnamon sugar, and accompanied by a small bowl of chocolate sauce for dipping. They make a fantastic dessert after a cozy family dinner or a fun treat for a movie night. You could even serve them at a birthday party or a casual get-together with friends!

Make Ahead and Storage

If you want to prepare these churros ahead of time, you can make the dough and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When you’re ready to fry, just let the dough sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before piping. If you have leftovers (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the oven to restore their crispiness.

So there you have it! A delightful recipe for Oreo Churros that’s sure to impress your family and friends.
