A double chocolate proposal for the chocolatiers to put on their boots. The celebration of All Saints , on November 1 , it is not understood if the fritters, although we can also see them in all the pastry shops in Madrid at  Carnival and Lent.

On these dates, the fritters are sweet or salty like cod ones are very typical, you have apple fritters  , the carnival crespillos … tuneadlos with your favorite filling: whipped cream, truffle, chocolate, strawberries, coffee …

Preparation of the chocolate fritters

1. In a bowl we sift the flour with the yeast and reserve.
2. We put a saucepan on the fire with the water, milk, butter, salt and orange zest. Heat until it boils and remove from the heat. Reserve until slightly tempered.
3. Add the egg yolks to the mixture and stir well until they are integrated.
4. Add the yeast flour and cocoa. With some rods we mix well until we have a thick and homogeneous cream. If necessary, we can heat the mixture on the fire to facilitate the dissolution of the flour.

Frying and final presentation of the chocolate fritters

1. In a wide and tall saucepan, heat plenty of mild oil for frying. When it is hot we are adding small portions of the donut dough with the help of two spoons.
2. Fry for a few minutes and remove by placing the fritters on absorbent paper.
3. With the fritters still hot, coat them with sugar. We reserve them while we prepare the chocolate filling.
4. To make the chocolate cream, heat the cream in a saucepan until it boils.
5. Remove from the heat and add the chopped chocolate. With some rods we are stirring until the chocolate has dissolved thanks to the residual heat of the cream. We let the cream cool before filling the fritters.
6. We put the chocolate cream in a pastry bag and making a small incision with the tip of a knife in each donut.
7. We introduce a portion of chocolate cream. And I hope they get to the table, nothing to eat on the way …

The recipe is very simple, it is not more than to contribute a quantity of pure cocoa, without sugar, to the dough of the fritters. Thus we get chocolate flavor in the classic fry. But also, and in case anyone is left wanting more collision. We fill our fritters with a simple chocolate ganache .
