CINNAMON CHURROS WITH MEXICAN CHOCOLATE DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven or countertop fryer using a high heat thermometer, bring the canola oil to 375 degrees F.
• For the chocolate sauce: Bring a double broiler to a simmer over medium-low heat. Carefully melt the chocolate. Remove from the heat. With a wooden spoon or heat resistant spatula, stir in the heavy cream until the sauce is smooth. Set aside.
• For the churros: Set a large saucepot over medium heat. Add 1 cup water, the butter, sugar and salt. Bring to 155 degrees F, then dump in the flour and stir with a wooden spoon to incorporate and remove lumps, about 1 minute.
• Using the spoon, add the eggs into the batter one at a time, beating after each addition, until fully incorporated. Spoon the batter into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip and carefully pipe into the heated oil, forming 6-inch strips or free form shapes. Do not overcrowd the pot. Fry for 3 to 5 minutes, turning once as the underside browns. Remove with a spider or slotted spoon and drain on paper-towel-lined sheet tray or plate.
• To finish: Working quickly, combine the sugar and cinnamon together in a large mixing bowl. Gently add the hot churros, tossing to coat. Serve with the chocolate dipping sauce.

WARM CHOCOLATE-CHIPOTLE CAKES WITH CINNAMON-CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare a medium heat fire (350°F) in a wood-fired oven or cooker. Butter eight 4-ounce ramekins and dust with sugar, knocking out the excess sugar.
• In the wood-fired oven or cooker, toast the chiles in a dry skillet, turning as they toast, for about 2 minutes. Discard the stems, seeds, and ribs, then soak the chiles in hot water to cover until softened, about 30 minutes. Drain, reserving the soaking liquid.
• Puree the drained chiles in a food processor or blender, adding enough soaking liquid to form a paste. Force the paste through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and discard the solids. Set aside 1 1/2 tablespoons of the chile paste and freeze the remainder for another use.
• Bring the prune juice and sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Pour the hot sugar syrup over the chocolate in a large bowl, stirring until the chocolate is melted. You may need to place it over a simmering water bath to melt completely. Add the butter and stir until melted. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the 1 1/2 tablespoons chile paste, the flour, cinnamon, and salt.
• Place the ramekins in a baking pan; divide the batter among the sugar-lined ramekins and place in the oven or cooker. Fill the pan with 1/2 inch hot water and bake, uncovered, until the cakes are firm and crusted, 30 to 35 minutes. Check after 20 minutes for doneness, as each oven is different. The cakes need to be moist, not dry.
• If using a Big Green Egg, put the plate setter in place with the grate on top, creating an oven. Place the sheet pan on the grate, fill with hot water, and close the lid.
• Transfer the ramekins to a wire rack and let cool for 5 minutes. Unmold the warm cakes directly onto serving plates, crusty top side up. Drizzle with the caramel sauce and serve.

• Combine the sugar and water in a heavy saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat to medium-high; boil without stirring until the syrup becomes a deep amber color, occasionally brushing down the sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush and swirling the pan. Remove from the heat. Stir in the ground cinnamon until completely combined. Gradually add the cream and stir over low heat until the sauce is smooth. Remove from the heat and let stand until cool and pourable, about 30 minutes.
• Store in a plastic squeeze bottle and use immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 month.
