    Ingredients

    25g unsalted butter

    1tsp vanilla essence

    125g self-raising flour

    ½tsp cinnamon

    ¼tsp ground nutmeg

    3tbsp caster sugar

    Vegetable oil, for frying

    150g frozen raspberries

    2tbsp Chambord

    100g dark chocolate

    100ml single cream

    Method

    1
    In a jug, add the butter and vanilla to 100ml boiling water. Stir until the butter has melted.
    2
    Put the flour in a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Pour in the butter liquid and beat until smooth.
    3
    Fit a piping bag with a star nozzle and fold down the edges of the bag. Fill with the batter.
    4
    Line a baking tray and pipe on palm-sized heart shapes. Pinch the ends together with wet fingers.
    5
    Put in the freezer for 15-20 mins, until firm.
    6
    In a bowl, stir together the spices and 2tbsp of the sugar and set aside.
    7
    In a large, deep pan, heat the oil to 180C or until it sizzles when tested with a small piece of bread.
    8
    Cook 2 churros at a time for 3-4 mins, until golden brown, turning occasionally. Test the oil is hot enough in between batches.
    9
    Drain the churros on a plate lined with kitchen roll, before tossing in the sugar and spice mixture.
    10
    To make the raspberry sauce, cook the raspberries with the rest of the sugar in a small pan until soft. Mash with a fork and stir in the Chambord. Pour into a small bowl to serve (sieve beforehand, if you like).
    11
    To make the chocolate sauce, break the dark chocolate into a microwave- safe bowl. Microwave for up to 1 min to melt, stirring every 20 secs. Pour in the cream and leave to sit for 1 min. Stir until melted and thick. Pour into a bowl to serve.
