Why use dark chocolate in the dip for the churros?
Dark chocolate, particularly our 80.3% dark chocolate, offers a depth of flavour that beautifully complements the churros. But more than just taste, dark chocolate is packed with antioxidants, may improve heart health, and can even boost your mood! It's a delicious and healthier alternative to other types of chocolate.

Is this churros recipe suitable for people with coeliac disease?
Absolutely! We use gluten-free flour in this recipe, making it a perfect dessert option for individuals with coeliac disease or those following a gluten-free diet.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
Yes, you can replace the heavy cream in the chocolate dip with a dairy-free alternative like coconut cream or almond milk. The result will be a delightful, dairy-free chocolate dip.

What are the health benefits of this recipe?
This recipe offers several health benefits. The churros are made with gluten-free flour, making them a suitable choice for those with gluten intolerance. The dark chocolate used in the dip is rich in antioxidants, can improve heart health, and has less sugar than other types of chocolate.

Why is there less sugar in our dark chocolate compared to others on the market?
Our 80.3% dark chocolate has a higher percentage of cocoa solids, which naturally reduces the amount of sugar in the chocolate. This makes our chocolate a healthier option without sacrificing the rich, indulgent taste that you love about chocolate.

Remember, it's always best to enjoy sweets as part of a balanced diet. Enjoy your gluten-free chocolate churros and reap the benefits of our rich, dark chocolate!
