Ingredients
Pumpkin churros:
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
Cinnamon maple cream cheese dip:
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- First, to make the dip, use an electric mixer to beat cream cheese, sugars, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and maple until smooth. Set aside in the fridge until ready to serve.
Pumpkin churros:
- In a small bowl, toss together granulated sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Line a plate with paper towels and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together water, pumpkin puree, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
- Using a wooden spoon, stir in the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, until well combined.
- Add the dough to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip.
- Heat oil for frying in a deep-fryer or deep skillet, or dutch-oven, to 375 degrees F. Use a candy thermometer to measure the temperature.
- Pipe 4-inch strips of dough into the hot oil, frying 3 or 4 strips at a time. Fry the churros until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
- Transfer the cooked churros to the prepared plate and let them drain on paper towels for 1 minute. Then quickly toss in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Serve warm with the cinnamon maple cream cheese dip on the side.
