You'll need a pastry tube to make these delicious baked churros with chocolate Abuelita dipping sauce. Less fatty than frying, baking the churros before flash-broiling makes them crispy on the outside, perfect on the inside.

Coffee Churros with Abuelita Sauce is a delightful twist on the traditional churro recipe from Official ABUELITA™. These churros are infused with the rich taste of coffee, thanks to the NESCAFÉ Café de Olla Instant Coffee Beverage Granules or NESCAFÉ CLÁSICO Pure Instant Coffee Granules. Perfectly baked to achieve a crisp exterior and a soft, chewy interior, they pair beautifully with the chocolate Abuelita dipping sauce made using an authentic NESTLÉ ABUELITA Mexican Hot Chocolate Drink tablet.

Complementing these churros is a sauce made with NESTLÉ LA LECHERA Sweetened Condensed Milk and a touch of NESTLÉ CARNATION Evaporated Milk, giving the dipping sauce a velvety finish. This easy dessert is perfect for a Day of the Dead celebration or any festive occasion, offering a flavorful experience that feels both comforting and indulgent.

Try making these churros this holiday season, bringing a touch of Mexican heritage into your kitchen without the extra oil from traditional frying. This easy recipe is perfect for those who love pastries, want a quick and easy baking project, and relish rich, coffee-infused treats.

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425° F. Cover large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.

Step 2

Heat water, coffee granules, butter, brown sugar and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Stir in flour with a wooden spoon until dough is smooth and pulls away from pan. Remove from heat.

Step 3

Mix in eggs one at a time incorporating completely after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.

Step 4

Transfer dough to a resealable gallon-size plastic bag fitted with a star-shaped, size 7 pastry tube (such as Ateco or Wilton). Pipe dough into 4-inch long, 1-inch wide tubes on prepared baking sheet. Leave about 2 inches of space between the churros.

Step 5

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until slightly puffed and firm to the touch. Turn oven to broiler setting; broil for 2 minutes or until churros are slightly crispy. Remove from oven; transfer to wire rack.

Step 6

Combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in a long dish. Roll churros in mixture.

Step 7

Heat Abuelita chocolate, sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes or until chocolate is completely dissolved. Serve warm with churros.

Cook's Tips:

- To make a kid-friendly version you can omit the coffee. - If you don’t have a pastry tip you can cut a ½-inch corner from the bottom of a resealable gallon-size plastic bag and pipe dough. The churros won’t have ridges but they will still be delicious!
