Steps

30 minutes

1

Heat the water on the stove over medium heat. When it begins to boil, add the whole wheat flour and mix. Add the cocoa, dry yeast and salt. Cook for 5 minutes while continuously stirring until you have a consistent dough.
2

Put the dough in a bowl. Add the eggs one by one, then the food coloring, and mix.
3

When everything is combined, put the dough in a pastry tube with a large, scalloped tip.
4

Heat the 2 cups of Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Spain over medium heat, squeeze out one churro and fry for 3 minutes. Repeat for all churros and place them on a plate lined with absorbent paper towel to remove excess oil. Trick: to cut the churros, use scissors wet with a bit of oil so the dough doesn't stick to the scissors.
5

To finish, serve alongside a bowl of cream cheese.

Sprinkle with brown sugar.
