Step 1
Mix cinnamon and sugar in a shallow bowl.
Step 2
Cut puff pastry into 4-inch strips about 0.5-inch wide.
Step 3
Heat oil in a heavy skillet to 375°F. Test with a wooden spoon handle—bubbles should form around it immediately.
Step 4
Fry pastry strips 60–90 seconds per side until deep golden, turning once. Work in batches to avoid crowding.
Step 5
Transfer churros to paper towels, then roll in cinnamon sugar while still hot.
Step 6
Heat cream until steaming. Pour over chocolate, wait 30 seconds, then stir until silky. Serve as a warm dip.
