Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Prepare the chosen raised dough for filled doughnuts and fry as directed. Let the doughnuts cool completely before filling.
-
Step 2.
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup heavy cream, 1½ tablespoons Dutch-processed cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon superfine sugar, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
-
Step 3.
After chilling, whip the cream mixture using a hand mixer on low speed or a whisk until soft peaks form (the mixture should hold its shape but still be soft). Spoon the filling into a pastry bag fitted with a ¼-inch star tip.
-
Step 4.
Hold a cooled doughnut in one hand and plunge the pastry tip into the side of the doughnut, pushing it about ¾ inch deep. Gently squeeze the pastry bag to fill the doughnut, slowly withdrawing the tip as you squeeze; you will feel the doughnut expand slightly. Repeat with the remaining doughnuts.
-
Step 5.
Roll the filled doughnuts in confectioners' sugar and serve immediately.
