Ingredients
155ml milk, warmed
½ tbsp granulated sugar
6g yeast
2 egg yolks
60g granulated sugar
190g plain flour
75g cocoa powder
55g butter, melted and cooled
1 tsp vanilla essence
1g salt
155ml milk, warmed
½ tbsp granulated sugar
6g yeast
250g plain flour
2 egg yolks
60g granulated sugar
55g butter, melted and cooled
1 tsp vanilla essence
1g salt
150g chocolate sandwich cookies
260g cream cheese
50g icing sugar
100ml heavy cream
150g granulated sugar
Instructions
Whisk the milk, sugar and yeast together and leave for 5 mins.
Add the flour, cocoa powder, egg yolks, sugar, melted butter, vanilla essence and salt. Combine into a wet batter, then turn out on a well floured surface and knead until it is smooth. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with cling film and leave to rise for about 1 hour.
Repeat this process for your plain dough. Place in a separate oiled bowl and leave to rise for 1 hour after kneading.
Roll both doughs out to about ½ inch thickness. Place the chocolate dough on top of the regular dough and roll out again to about ½ inch thickness.
Using a 3 inch circle cutter, cut out as many circles as possible and place on a lightly oiled baking tray. Cover with cling film and leave to rise again for about 1 hour.
Fill a large sturdy saucepan a third of the way with vegetable oil. Heat to 170C/325F. Carefully place the doughnuts in the oil a few at a time and fry for about 3-4 mins, turning over once to ensure even browning. When cooked, place on a tray lined with paper towel to drain.
Leave to cool for a minute or two, then toss in the granulated sugar until coated. Leave to cool totally.
Place your filling in a piping bag and make a small hole on the edge of each doughnut. Pipe your mixture into each doughnut to fill the hollow inside.
Serve and enjoy!
