Ingredients
  • 310ml milk, heated until warm
  • 125g granulated sugar
  • 12g yeast
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 115g butter, melted and cooled
  • 10g vanilla
  • 500g plain flour
  • 2g salt
  • Vegetable oil for deep-frying
  • Filling:
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 225g heavy cream
  • 100ml Baileys Chocolat Luxe
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder, sifted
  • 50g icing sugar
  • Granulated sugar to coat
  • Salted Caramel Chocolate Sauce:
  • 225g caramel sauce
  • 50ml Baileys Chocolat Luxe
  • Pinch of Salt
Instructions
  1. Doughnuts:
  2. Add milk, sugar, and yeast into a large bowl; let stand until frothy.
  3. Beat in egg yolks, butter, vanilla, and remaining sugar. Using a wooden spoon, beat in flour and salt, scraping down the side of bowl occasionally and adding about ½ cup more flour if necessary to make a soft sticky dough.
  4. Turn out onto lightly floured work surface; knead until smooth and elastic. Place in greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap; let rise in warm draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1½ hours.
  5. Punch down dough. Turn out onto lightly floured work surface; roll out to ½-inch thickness. Using lightly floured 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out as many rounds as possible. Transfer to lined baking sheet. Cover loosely and let rise in warm draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  6. Heat enough oil in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan; heat until 170ºC. Fry doughnuts, 3 at a time and turning once, until golden brown on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towel–lined plate to cool and drain.
  7. When slightly cooled, toss donuts in granulated sugar.
  8. Filling:
  9. Meanwhile, beat together all the filling ingredients in a bowl for 2-3 minutes until stiff peaks form. Transfer cheesecake mixture into a piping bag fitted with a pastry filling tip. Set aside.
  10. Salted Caramel Sauce:
  11. Heat all ingredients over low heat until combined. Serve warm with donuts.
  12. Assembly:
  13. When donuts are cooled, poke a hole in the side with the pastry bag and fill with the filling.
  14. Dip into caramel sauce or pour over top and enjoy!
