Strawberry gum churros and white chocolate dipping sauce

Instructions

1. Heat the oil for deep-frying in a large, heavy-based saucepan to 175˚C. Prepare a paper-towel lined tray. Combine the ingredients for the spiced sugar on a large plate.
   
2. To make the dipping sauce, heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat, until just boiling. Remove from the heat and add the white chocolate melts, whisking gently to combine, or until the chocolate is melted. Pour into a small dipping bowl and set aside.
   
3. While the oil is heating, in a large mixing bowl, combine the ingredients for the churros and mix well to combine. Transfer the churro batter to a large piping bag fitted with a star tip nozzle. Once the oil is hot, pipe lengths of churros into the hot oil and use scissors to cut at your desired length.
   
4. Deep-fry until golden and crisp, then use tongs or a slotted spoon to transfer the fried churros to the paper-towel lined tray, then immediately roll in the spiced sugar. Transfer to a serving plate.
   
5. Serve the strawberry gum churros with the white chocolate dipping sauce.
