After doing all the puddings for the Mexican American Border Cooking blog, I realized I hadn't made one for the chocolate blog. My bad! So what better refreshing chocolate pudding than one with cinnamon?Then, I was inspired with this wonderful Puff Pastry Churro recipe posted by Anudivya from…and a little bit more. Churros are so popular here in El Paso and I know they have grown in popularity across the states. But this recipe was so unique to me that I had to try it. Despite their deliciousness, churros are still fried. These puff pastry delights by Anudivya are baked and have the same cinnamon-sugar flavor that are particular to churros. Give them a try. They really are good.
The little heart in the pudding is made from a flour tortilla. I just used a cookie cutter and baked these as well then coated them with a little cinnamon sugar as well. Enjoy.

I did mine about 3 inches long and 1 inch thick.Brush beaten egg on both sides roughly. Coat with the cinnamon and sugar mixture.Lay them on the cookie sheet with little space in between them so that they can puff up.Bake at 400F till slightly golden brown on top.

Everything looks so good and I love the tortilla heart. :) I'm going to have to try the baked churros -- much healthier than frying. Hugs.
I just watched an 'Unwrapped' show on how some companies make churros, and they were not even close to this healthy, I also like the heart, nice touch to my beloved chocolate!
Delicious, as always!
