When we found Churro Gnocchi Bites on Instagram, we were floored and knew we need to test the concept ourselves. The original recipe from Bethany Ugarte (@lilsipper) uses cauliflower gnocchi, vanilla flavored collagen, and coconut (or date) sugar to go with cultured probiotic cream cheese for dipping. We chose to go on a route a bit more indulgent, tossing potato gnocchi with melted butter and cinnamon sugar and serving it with a spicy chocolate ganache for dipping. All we can say is, don't know it 'til you try it. 

INGREDIENTS

FOR GNOCCHI:

1. 1 lb. package store-bought gnocchi
2. 1 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
3. 1/2 c. cinnamon sugar

FOR SAUCE:

1. 3/4 c. heavy cream
2. 2/3 c. semisweet chocolate chips
3. 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
4. Pinch cayenne pepper (optional) 

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large pot of salted water, cook the gnocchi according to package instructions. Drain and pat dry.
2. In a large bowl, toss gnocchi with melted butter. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and toss to coat. 
3. For the sauce: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, microwave cream in 30-second intervals until it starts to bubble, watching carefully to avoid boiling over. Pour hot cream over chocolate, cover with a plate, and let sit 3 minutes. Add cinnamon and cayenne, if using, and whisk until smooth.
4. Serve gnocchi with warm chocolate dipping sauce.
