Imagine biting into a golden, crispy churro that surprises your taste buds with a burst of herbs and pepper. This is not your ordinary sweet treat. Thyme and chives add an earthy depth that ensures every bite is a delightful blend of crispiness and aromatic herbs. And to enhance this rich experience, you can serve the churros with velvety pepper whipped cream cheese. Each mouthful promises a harmonious balance of savoury flavours with a slight kick from the pepper cream cheese. We have plenty more recipes for you to try out. How about bagels with Castello® pepper whipped cream cheese, bacon, egg, and avocado? Or Belgian waffles with Castello® original whipped cream cheese? They are easy to make and very delicious.
While thyme and chives make a classic combination, you can just as easily experiment with other herbs such as rosemary, dill, or parsley. These fresh herbs can add distinct flavours, making each churro a new taste adventure. You can also pair them with different dips, like our original whipped cream cheese or garlic whipped cream cheese to enhance the flavour further.
If you ever crave a switch, try making a sweet version of these churros. Serve with Castello® original whipped cream cheese and a drizzle of honey for a harmonious blend of sweet and creamy.
When frying your churros, achieving a golden-brown hue is key. A good indicator that your churros are done is that they float to the surface and take on that rich golden shade.
Also, ensure your oil is at the right temperature – too hot and your churros might burn quickly, too cold and they might turn soggy.
