Instructions
Prepare the Churro Dough
- In a medium saucepan, combine water, unsalted butter, and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt until a dough forms. Let the dough cool for about 10 minutes, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Pipe the Churro Shapes
- Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pipe 4-inch long strips of dough onto it.
Fry the Churros
- In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully drop the churro strips into the hot oil, frying until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Coat in Cinnamon Sugar
- In a shallow bowl, mix granulated sugar with cinnamon. Roll the warm churros in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
Prepare the Cannoli Filling
- In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese, and powdered sugar. Add vanilla extract and mix until smooth and creamy.
Fill the Churros
- Using a piping bag, carefully fill each churro with the cannoli filling. Make sure to fill them generously for that delicious surprise!
Serve and Enjoy!
- Arrange your Churro Cannoli on a platter. Dust with additional powdered sugar if desired and enjoy your sweet creation!
