Preheat your oven to 425ºF. Then, invert a mini muffin tin so that the bottoms are facing up. Lightly grease the bottom and dust with a tablespoon of flour.
2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt unsalted butter in water with salt.
3
Once the butter has melted completely and broth is boiling, turn off the heat and quickly stir in the all-purpose flour.
4
Stir the mixture until it turns into a smooth dough ball.
5
Crack in the large eggs one by one, mixing thoroughly after each addition until the dough becomes smooth again.
6
Taking small amounts of the dough at a time, wrap it around the greased and floured molds of the inverted muffin tin until the entire mold is covered.
7
Make sure each layer of dough is touching the previous one without any gaps, this forms the churro bowl.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until churros turn golden brown and become crispy. Allow them to cool slightly once done.
9
While the churro cups are baking, mix the sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish.
10
Once the churro cups are cooled and easily removable from the muffin tin, roll each cup in the cinnamon sugar mixture until completely coated.

Next, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips over a double boiler or in the microwave. If using microwave, heat in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until completely melted.

Place a scoop of vanilla ice cream in each sugar-coated churro cup, and drizzle with the melted chocolate. Serve immediately for best taste.
