Gourmet Churros Are Going to Be Your Next Instagram Obsession

There are lots of creative ways to make churros, and Instagram is going crazy over them these days. Seriously, if you thought breakfast cereal cupcakes were amazing, just wait until you try sweet, crunchy churros dipped in chocolate and rolled in Fruity Pebbles! Churros are a Spanish delicacy made with fried pastry dough and sprinkled with sugar, and they’re typically eaten as snacks or desserts with few accoutrements. Now they’re being dipped in cereal, sprinkled with chocolate chips and used in ice cream sammies — they’re *basically* the new gourmet donut. Check out the insane and COMPLETELY nom-worthy creations that have been gracing our Instagram feeds lately.

1. Looping Around: The Loop, a churros shop in Westminster, California, is one of the establishments spearheading the gourmet churros craze. These two creations showcase a few of the shop’s options, with looped churros complementing frozen yogurt, fruity pebbles and Reese’s Peanut Butter cups.

2. Churro Cones: This is another one of those things that makes us ask ourselves, “Why hasn’t this been a thing all along?” Given that churros are fried pastry dough and are often served with ice cream, the fact that churro cones aren’t served pretty much everywhere is actually kind of mind-blowing. Check out the sprinkles, nuts, gooey caramel and chocolate toppings!

3. Simple Pleasures: These might not *look* as crazy as sprinkles- and cereal-topped churros, but they’re plenty creative. These bad boys are stuffed with vanilla, pistachio and chocolate filling and topped with such delicacies as coconut flakes, chocolate and candied nuts.

4. Chocolate Loops: These looped churros are chocolate-infused, making for a fun take on this delicious snack. The Fruity Pebble toppings don’t exactly hurt their appeal, either.

5. Churros Cupcakes: Yes, these churros come in cupcake form! Hailing from Sonia’s Cupcakes in Brazil, these babies are fried in tiny cupcake tins and piped with delicious frosting.

6. Churro Sundae: Your ice cream sundae just got a little more interesting! These creations from Ridges Churro Bar in LA offer ice cream topped with your choice of sweets (cereal and chocolate are featured here) and served alongside two DELICIOUS churros. It really doesn’t get much better than this.

7. Classic Churros: Okay, this creation isn’t TOO far out there, but there’s no question that it’s going to be unbelievably yummy. This more moderately sized portion of churro is served with classic vanilla ice cream. Split it with your boo or your BFF for a sort of (okay not really) healthy indulgence.

8. Got Churros?: These churro loops are served in hand-held form for your walking and snacking pleasure. Bonus points for the crispy nuts spread on top.

9. Dipped Churros: Dipping churros in a chocolate sauce is pretty standard, but these super-sugary treats take it to the NEXT LEVEL. They’re dipped not only in gooey chocolate, but also — for a twist — melted caramel!

10. Churro Cones Take Two: This take on churro cones is more simplistic than the first. It comes sans sprinkles but CRAMMED with vanilla ice cream. And do we see some melted chocolate peeking out from underneath the ice cream? Yes, yes we do.

11. Churros Down Under: These sweet treats come to us from Canberra, Australia, and we think they’d honestly be worth the trip to the Southern Hemi. They’re topped with coconut flakes, chocolate sprinkles, peanuts and chocolate sauce, and served in individual boxes for your churro-munching convenience. Plus, we see sprinkles in the background!

12. Churro Ice Cream Sandwich: It’s possible that we saved the best for last. That’s right — this is a GIGANTIC churro ice cream sandwich! (Insert heart-eyes emoji here.) The ice cream inside looks to be cookies-‘n’-cream, and it’s topped with chocolate frosting and rainbow sprinkles. YES, PLEASE.

Oscar-winner, Michelle Yeoh just opened up to BBC Radio about her struggles with infertility amid her decades-long career. Fertility and motherhood are obviously complex, emotional topics — we've seen plenty of discourse play out in this space the last few months alone — so when Michelle described her inability to conceive as "a failure," our collective hearts broke for her.

Here's what the Wicked star had to say about why she felt like "a failure" — and the unexpected relationship that "blessed" her.

cdn.ex.co

On BBC Radio's Woman's Hourpodcast, Michelle shared her story of infertility — both how it hurt her, but also how she was able to come to terms with it over time. In discussing what she calls a "shattered mirror moment," Michelle explained that her lack of children wasn't for "lack of trying." She said that she loves children, babies, and even has six godchildren, but she simply wasn't able to bear a biological child.

"I believe that it's a woman's choice — it's your choice whether you want to have children, and shouldn't be imposed on you. Just because you're a woman, you should have a child — that should not be the case," she said. "But as a very personal thing, I wanted — I always wanted to have children."

She elaborated that in her first marriage with Sir Dickson Poon, it was a "very clear path about having children." When she couldn't conceive, she went to get fertility treatment "to aid in the process" — and she made it clear that the process was a very painful one for her. When describing her attempts at conception, she said, "And I think the worst moment to go through is every month you feel like such a failure."

"And then you go, why? And I think at some point you stop blaming yourself. I go, there are certain things in your body that doesn't function in a certain way. That's how it is," she continued. "You just have to let go and move on. And I think you come to a point where you have to stop blaming you."

While she may have practically moved on from her dream of carrying biological children — of that, she said, "I'm 62. Of course I'm not going to have a baby right now," — Michelle can't seem to help thinking of it still. She said, "Sometimes, honestly, I still think about it."

Getting to this place of peace and understanding for her fertility scenario came with a series of heartbreaks, though, as Michelle explained this likely ended her first marriage. Although she believed they loved each other, she knew in the next decade of the relationship, she ultimately couldn't give her ex-husband the family that he wanted. Now, she feels like it was "very brave" for the former couple "to admit" that they shouldn't "drag this out."

Thankfully, the end of her marriage didn't mar the love shared there — Michelle said she's actually godmother to Sir Dickson Poon's eldest child. And she even got remarried! Though her new husband, Jean Todt, proposed the very first month they were together, Michelle waited to marry until about 20 years later.

As mentioned before, Michelle is surrounded by plenty of beautiful children in her life — one of which is her granddaughter via her stepson, Nicholas Todt. In regards to that, Michelle noted, "Then you feel you're still very, very blessed because you do have a baby in your life.”

And as for having a little one in her life outside of children? Let's just say she has a golden boy of her own — and yes, I'm referring to the Oscar she won in 2023 for Everything Everywhere All at Once. Needless to say, Michelle is definitely not a failure. 🙌
