Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Oil for frying (peanut, canola, or vegetable)
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • Additional granulated sugar and cinnamon for coating

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Dip: In a stand mixer, combine softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, brown sugar, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and pumpkin puree until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Make Cinnamon Sugar: Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl; set aside.
  3. Create Churro Dough: Whisk together water, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Fold in flour, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until combined. Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
  4. Heat Oil: In a deep-fryer or deep skillet, heat oil to approximately 375°F using a candy thermometer.
  5. Fry the Churros: Pipe strips of dough into hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides (about two minutes per side). Drain on paper towels briefly before tossing in cinnamon sugar.
  6. Serve Warm: Enjoy your churros immediately with the cream cheese dip or other favorites like chocolate or caramel sauce.
