Sweet & delicious churro ice cream sandwiches
Finally someone has thought of it: Drawing inspiration from the shops Churros Calientes in Los Angeles and La Churreria in New York City, comes churro ice cream sandwiches. Sylvia Yoo made disc-shaped churros, and put a scoop of ice cream between two of these to create a sweet and delicious summer treat.
“When I moved back to LA, it was the beginning of the ice cream boom, with places like Carmela and Sweet Rose opening shop. Working in pastry, ice cream was always my favourite thing to make and eat. I had dreams of running my own business, but I knew I needed my product to stand out,” says Sylvia Yoo.
This sugary hybrid creation comes in four flavours, including horchata with a homemade rice-and-almond-milk ice cream, and Mexican hot chocolate. The other two flavours are seasonal.

Make your own Churro Ice Cream Sandwiches
Directions
- In a small bowl combine flour and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon.
- In a medium saucepan combine the water, brown sugar, vegetable oil and salt. Bring to a boil, add flour mixture. Stir immediately until a dough forms. Remove from heat. Beat in eggs, one at a time.
- Transfer dough to a pastry bag fitted with a small open star tip. Pipe 3- to 4-inch flat swirls on a wax paper lined cookie sheet. Freeze dough on cookie sheet until ready to use.
- Add 2-inches of oil to a large deep skillet and heat to 350 degrees F. In a shallow dish combine sugar and remaining 2 teaspoons of cinnamon.
- Working in batches, fry cookies until puffed and golden brown. Transfer cookies to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. While cookies are still warm, toss in cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Place 1 scoop vanilla ice cream on top of 1 churro cookie, top with another cookie.
