Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered (or frozen, thawed)
  • 2 cups rhubarb, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup dulce de leche
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine strawberries, rhubarb, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Toss gently and set aside for 10 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Cut cold butter into the dry mix using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk egg and milk until combined. Pour over flour-butter mixture and stir gently until just combined to form a sticky dough.
  6. Pour fruit filling into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of churro dough over the fruit, leaving some gaps.
  8. Bake for 35–40 minutes until topping is golden brown and fruit is bubbling.
  9. While baking, warm dulce de leche with heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until smooth and pourable.
  10. Drizzle warm dulce de leche over slices of the churro bake and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Keep butter cold to create flaky topping. Don’t overmix dough to avoid toughness. Use fresh cinnamon for best flavor. If topping browns too fast, tent with foil. Let bake cool 10 minutes before drizzling dulce de leche. Frozen fruit can be used if thawed and drained. For gluten-free or dairy-free versions, substitute ingredients as noted.
