Preparation Steps
1
In a saucepan, bring the water, butter, sugar, and salt to a boil. Remove from heat.
2
Add the flour all at once and stir vigorously until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the pot.
3
Let the dough cool slightly, then beat in the eggs one at a time until you have a smooth and glossy batter.
4
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Heat the oil to approximately 350°F (180°C).
5
Pipe lengths of dough, about 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) long, into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown, turning occasionally.

Remove the churros and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Melt the dark chocolate with the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until smooth and silky.
