NEW YORK, April 14 ― If you’re a dessert connoisseur, chances are you’ll have heard of the churro ice cream bowl, which has taken the internet and social media by storm.

The good people behind YouTube channel Tasty have decided to create its own version, and it looks easy as ABC.

You’ll need these ingredients for this recipe that serves eight: a quarter cup butter /cubed, two tablespoons of brown sugar, half a teaspoon of salt, one cup of water, one cup of flour, one teaspoon of vanilla, four eggs, cooking oil spray, oil for frying, cinnamon sugar, ice cream, hot fudge and caramel topping (optional).

In a medium saucepan over medium/high heat ― add butter, brown sugar, salt, and water ― bring to a boil. As soon as the butter has fully melted and the mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat to medium/low and add in flour. Using a wooden spoon, stir until the dough comes together into a ball (about one minute). Remove from heat and let it cool for five minutes before proceeding to the next step (to prevent accidentally cooking the eggs).

This tasty little treat has taken the internet and social media by storm.

Mix in the vanilla extract and add in the eggs, one at a time, being sure to fully incorporate each egg before adding the next. Once all the eggs are incorporated, transfer it to a piping bag with a small star tip.

Invert a muffin tin and spray thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray. Pipe the dough around the inverted cups in spirals to form the bowls. Immediately transfer the tray to the freezer and freeze until solid (about three hours or overnight).

Heat oil in a deep pot to 350˚F (175˚C). Remove the muffin tin from the freezer and flex it to release the churro bowls (you may need to also use a small knife under the bottom edge to initially release them). Return any extras to the freezer while you wait to fry.

Fry them in batches, until nicely browned ― no more than three at a time. Be sure to carefully tip them into the oil so they sink to the bottom. Once desired color is reached remove them from the oil to a paper towel lined plate. Dab off any excess oil then roll them in a cinnamon sugar mixture. Fill with your favorite ice cream and toppings. Enjoy!
