This is the first of several posts I will be sharing between now and February 14th of dedicated to Valentine’s Day treats.
These doughnuts were tricky to get the shapes and in the end they weren’t perfect. But it was fun making them and especially fun decorating them.
As you can see, I subscribe to the kitchen sink decorating method. I threw everything but on these babies.
To get the heart shapes, I used two different size heart shaped cookie cutters.
Some of the heart shaped doughnut holes retained their shape when frying.
Others did not.
The doughnuts are from a copycat Krispie Kreme recipe. Author unknown. If it’s yours, please contact me for credit. I left out the vanilla beans in the original recipe.
