I was so excited when Disney Parks released their famous Disney Churros Recipe that I had to recreate it for myself! The family and I have had major Disney withdrawals and these making Homemade Disney Churros was the touch of Disney Magic we needed. As you can see from our Disneyland Food Tour, the famous Disney Churros made quite a few appearances. Here is how to make Disney Churros at home! The one thing I did not have was a pastry bag and I improvised with a plastic ziplock and cut the tip off. The Churros I made may not have the exact shape, but it still tasted the same! I’m also sure there is a healthy version of Disney Churros in the works for me in the future, but for my first attempt I decided to stick to the original recipe from The Disney Parks Blog.
Homemade Disney Churros
I made my Disney Churros the length of a finger. When squeezing the dough from your makeshift bag, make sure you cut the opening small to have small churros. I found the thick ones would be crispy on the outside, but undercooked and mushy inside. By sticking to the length and width of my fingers seemed to be the perfect size. I suggest squeezing when squeezing out your tube size churro to use scissors to cut evenly.

Before Rolling my Disney Churros in Cinnamon and Sugar, I took them out of the hot oil and placed them on a cookie cooling rack. This allowed the churros to cool a bit, but also let excess oil drip away. I don’t know about you, but I prefer warm churros so I only had mine cooling for a few minutes before rolling in cinnamon and sugar.

I must say that Disney Churros are delicious on their own, but to bring it to the next level I made a chocolate and cream cheese dipping sauce. The consensus in the house was that the chocolate sauce was good, but the favorite was the cream cheese sauce.
Here’s how to make the Chocolate Sauce! In a small sauce pan melt 1 tbsp. butter and whisk in 2 tbsp. heavy cream on low heat. Then add 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips whisk until mixed and dissolved. Remove from heat and cool.
Here’s how to make the Cream Cheese Sauce! In a small sauce pan melt 1 tbsp. butter and whisk 2 tbsp. cream cheese and 2 tbsp. heavy cream on low heat. Then add 1/4 cup of powdered sugar and whisk until dissolved. Remove from heat and cool.
