Perfect for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day or any day of the year! Link to the original recipe: "https://www.elephantasticvegan.com/heart-shaped-churros-strawberry-sugar/"
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
Frying oil
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon strawberry powder (or ground freeze-dried strawberries)
1/4 cup chocolate chips (or baking chocolate)
1 teaspoon coconut oil
In a pot, heat the water, sugar, salt and coconut oil until the sugar has dissolved. Take the pot off the heat and add in the flour. Stir to combine. Let it cool down until cold enough to touch.
Fill the churro dough into a pastry bag with a star tip. Pipe 5 inch ropes onto a parchment paper and combine two ropes for each heart.
Heat the frying oil in a pot (just enough so that the churros can swim; make sure there's enough room in the pot to prevent it from spilling over). And carefully add the churro hearts (work in batches). Let them fry for about 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy.
Transfer the hearts onto a paper towel to remove excess oil. (It's best to try a churro heart if they are cooked all the way through, if they are raw inside then the oil is too hot. Reduce the heat.) Then, let them sit to cool off for 2 minutes while prepping the topping.

For the strawberry sugar coating, combine the sugar and powdered strawberries on a deep plate. Coat the warm churros with the strawberry sugar.
For the chocolate sauce, heat the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a double boiler until melted. Serve with the warm churros!
