Churro Bar

We had a graduation party tonight and one of the tables we set up was a Churro Bar:

we bought the churros from a local bakery (halved and third-ed some for the littles)
we made sauces such as white chocolate almond, mango, raspberry, nutella sauce and dulce de leche
we had sprinkles, nuts, coconut, honey and even apple pie filling and strawberry jam
we decorated with bandanas

here are a few pictures and a couple of recipes:

mango sauce -

peel 3 large mangos and cut away the flesh - process until liquefied.
pour pulp through strainer and measure out 1 1/2 cups of puree
combine the  mango puree with 2 T fresh lime juice and 2 T sugar
heat in saucepan over med heat stirring often, until reduces to 1 cup (takes 10-15 min)
serve at room temp or chilled

dulce de leche

combine 1 cup heavy cream and 1 cup packed dark brown sugar in saucepan over med heat, stir til sugar dissolves and mixture comes to slow boil,
continue and stir until reduces down to 1 cup - about 10 min.
once reduced, stir in 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk and whisk.  serve warm.

  1. Looks like a fantastic place! Thanks for these pictures. I am thinking to host a family party at local party venues in Houston. Looking for a nice dinner party venue without stretching my budget. Hoping to find one soon!
