About this recipe
Churros with chocolate coconut ganache Thermomix TM7 bring the magic of a Spanish churrería straight into your kitchen. This indulgent dessert pairs crisp, golden fritters rolled in cinnamon sugar with a rich, dairy-free ganache of dark chocolate and coconut cream. Searching for easy churro recipes for your all-in-one kitchen machine? This one delivers on every level. The TM7 heats the water, olive oil and salt to exactly the right point before the plain flour is beaten in, creating a smooth choux-style dough with signature ridged stars when piped. Meanwhile, the melting function gently warms dark chocolate with coconut cream and vanilla until the sauce turns glossy and pourable, no bain-marie needed. Perfect as a festive dessert, a birthday treat or a weekend sharing platter, these churros disappear within minutes of hitting the table. The coconut ganache adds a subtle tropical note that balances the deep cocoa bitterness beautifully.
Preparation tips
- Pipe the churro dough directly into the hot oil using a star nozzle, as the ridges catch the cinnamon sugar and stay crisp. Cut each length with kitchen scissors so the churros keep an even shape while frying.
- Roll the warm churros in a mix of caster sugar and ground cinnamon straight after frying, when the sugar clings best. Keep the chocolate coconut ganache lukewarm so it stays dippable rather than setting hard.
- For a kid-friendly version, let children pipe shorter churros and dust them with extra cinnamon sugar. Store leftover ganache in the fridge and reheat gently in the mixing bowl for a quick dessert the next day.
Recipe variations
- Make the ganache fully vegan by choosing high-quality dark chocolate with a high cocoa percentage and confirming it contains no milk solids; the coconut cream already replaces all dairy for a plant-based sauce.
- For a festive twist, add a pinch of chilli powder or orange zest to the chocolate coconut ganache, or serve the churros with a warm salted caramel dip alongside for a doubly indulgent party platter.
