Chocolate Chip Bolinho de Chuva—need I say more? Just picture that warm, golden donut hole with melty chocolate in every single bite; it is absolutely irresistible. Stop imagining and let’s get into the kitchen to whip up this treat so we can get to the best part: eating it.

Ingredients for Chocolate Chip Bolinho de Chuva:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour;
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar;
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder;
  • 2 large eggs;
  • 1/2 cup whole milk;
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips;
  • Cinnamon-sugar for dusting (optional);
  • Vegetable oil (for frying).

How to make Chocolate Chip Bolinho de Chuva:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder.
  2. Add the eggs and mix well.
  3. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly until you reach a smooth, uniform batter.
  4. Fold in the chocolate chips gently until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. In a deep pot, heat enough oil over medium heat to fully submerge the dough balls.
  6. Using two spoons, scoop small portions of the batter and carefully drop them into the hot oil.
  7. Fry the fritters until golden brown on all sides, turning as needed to ensure even cooking.
  8. Remove the donuts with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  9. While still warm, dust with cinnamon-sugar if desired.
  10. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips:

The oil must be hot enough so that the dough fries quickly without soaking up too much oil. Do not overcrowd the pot; they need enough space to move so they don’t stick together, ensuring they turn out crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
