Low

Heat water with salt, sugar, and butter in a pot until melted, stir to combine; when boiling, add flour and beat vigorously with a whisk for 5 minutes until perfectly incorporated. Remove from heat, let cool, and transfer to a mixing bowl. Start mixing and add the Huevo San Juan® pieces one by one, continuing to mix. Set aside. Make a piping bag with a plastic bottle: cut the cap into a star shape and cut the bottle from the first quarter. Use the piping bag you made with a plastic bag and fill it with the churro dough. Heat plenty of oil and fry the churros; cut to the desired size with scissors. Fry each churro for about 5 minutes, until fully cooked and the desired color is achieved. While still hot, sprinkle with the mixed sugar and cinnamon. For the guava syrup, cook the guavas with water, piloncillo, cinnamon, and star anise in a pot; boil for 10 minutes until a light syrup is formed. Beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar until you have a smooth mixture. Place in a resealable bag, cut the tip of the bag, and set aside. Cut one end of the churros and fill with the help of the bag or piping bag, serve with the guava syrup. You can decorate the plate with guava and mint. It's time to enjoy!
