Instructions
 

Make the churro dough:

    - In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, remove from heat and quickly stir in the flour and cinnamon until a smooth dough forms.

      Incorporate eggs:

        - Allow the dough to cool for a few minutes, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

          Pipe the churros:

            - Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a piping bag fitted with a star tip to pipe the churros into 5-inch long strips on the baking sheet.

              Bake the churros:

                - Bake the churros for about 15-20 minutes until they’re golden brown and puffy. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.

                  Coat in sugar:

                    - In a shallow dish, combine the granulated sugar with a pinch of cinnamon. Roll the warm churros in this mixture until fully coated.

                      Prepare the frozen yogurt:

                        - In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary. If desired, fold in your choice of fresh fruit, crushed nuts, or chocolate chips.

                          Assemble the cups:

                            - Chop the churros into bite-sized pieces. In serving cups, layer the chopped churro pieces with the frozen yogurt mixture, alternating layers as desired.

                              Add the crunchy topping:

                                - Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar cereal on top of each cup for extra crunch. Drizzle melted chocolate or chocolate sauce over the top.

                                  Freeze:

                                    - Place the assembled cups in the freezer for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.

                                      Serve:

                                        - Remove from the freezer, give it a few minutes to soften slightly, and enjoy your Frozen Yogurt Churro Crunch Cups!
