Start by making the pineapple dipping sauce.

Grab a container for blending; using a large measuring cup instead of a blender.

Measure out 1 cup of pineapple chunks and add them to the container.

Add 1/4 cup of pineapple juice to the container.

Add 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar to the container.

Use a hand blender to blend the mixture until smooth and pulpy.

Set the blended pineapple sauce aside.

Next, prepare the churro dough.

In a mixing bowl, combine blue cheese and cheddar cheese (quantities not specified).

Add sugar and five spice powder to the cheese mixture (quantities not specified).

Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F for frying the churros.

Transfer the churro dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.

Pipe 4-6 inch strips of dough into the hot oil; fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove churros and drain on paper towels; toss in a mixture of sugar and five spice powder.
