Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes (including preparation and baking time)

Ingredients

For Churros:

1 cup water
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil, for frying
Cinnamon sugar, for coating

For Lava Cake Filling:

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Method

- In a saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil.

- Reduce the heat to low and add all-purpose flour to the saucepan. Stir vigorously until the mixture forms a smooth dough that pulls away from the sides of the pan.

- Remove the dough from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.

- While the dough is still warm, transfer it to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.

- Heat vegetable oil in a deep saucepan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).

- Pipe 3 to 4-inch strips of dough into the hot oil, carefully cutting them with scissors. Fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove the churros using a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on a paper towel.

- Coat the churros in cinnamon sugar while they are still warm. Set them aside.

- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together, stirring until smooth.

- Grease small ramekins or oven-safe dishes and pour a spoonful of the melted chocolate mixture into each dish.

- Place a churro in the center of each dish, pressing it gently into the chocolate.

- Pour another spoonful of the melted chocolate mixture over the churro, covering it completely.

- Bake the Churros Lava Cakes for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is still gooey.

- Remove from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes.

Serve the Churros Lava Cakes warm and enjoy the heavenly combination of crispy churros with a decadent molten chocolate center for a delightful Wednesday dessert experience.
