Mexican Chocolate Ganache
We upped the ante on decadent dipping sauces. A rich, creamy chocolate ganache with just a touch of heat. Pair with these Chardonnay Churros and a glass of Pinot Noir for a terrific Cinco de Mayo indulgence.
One of my favorite treats of all time has got to be churros. They are crunchy, crispy, and are surprisingly easy to make at home. To kick the humble churro up a notch, I made some with Chardonnay in the dough, and I am pairing them with this decadently spicy Mexican chocolate ganache to make the perfect romantic dinner.
This recipe is incredibly easy and luxurious. Open a bottle of La Crema wines and spend the evening dipping churros for a romantically festive date.
