Churros Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of water, 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 1/4 cup of vegetable oil, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Stir until well-blended.
- Gradually add 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt into the wet mixture.
- Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F.
- Pipe strips of dough directly into the oil, cutting them to your desired length. Fry the churros for approximately 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Carefully remove the churros from the oil and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Toss in a mixture of 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon.
Cream Cheese Dip Preparation
- In a medium bowl, blend together 4 ounces of cream cheese, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup light brown sugar, 1/4 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Mix until smooth.
- For an extra touch, fold in additional pumpkin puree.
- Serve your freshly made pumpkin churros warm alongside the cinnamon pumpkin cream cheese dip.

Notes
Consume churros immediately after frying for the best taste and texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container lined with napkins for up to 3 days.
