We're going to learn how to make heart-shaped donuts with a luscious peach cream. Trust me, this is a dessert that will steal hearts at any gathering or just brighten up your day with its cuteness. So let's dive into the world of donut artistry and get ready to satisfy both our taste buds and our eyes!
For this delightful creation, we're going to follow a video tutorial by @_yu.jung on TikTok. It's always great to give credit where it's due, right?
Now, let's gather our ingredients. Here's what you'll need:
For the donuts:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the peach cream:
- 1 cup fresh peaches (peeled and chopped)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Now that we have everything ready, it's time to start creating our heart-shaped donuts!
Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. The result should be a smooth and slightly sticky dough.
Step 2: On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a 1/2-inch thickness. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out donut shapes from the dough. Don't forget to collect the scraps and re-roll them to make more donuts!
Step 3: Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom. Carefully place the heart-shaped donuts into the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn golden brown. Once cooked, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 4: While the donuts are cooling, let's prepare the peach cream. In a blender or food processor, blend the fresh peaches until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the peach puree until well combined.
Step 5: Once the donuts have cooled, it's time for the fun part! Take a heart-shaped donut and cut it in half horizontally. Spread a generous amount of the peach cream on the bottom half and place the top half back on. Repeat with the remaining donuts.
Voila! Your heart-shaped donuts with peach cream are now ready to be devoured. These little treats not only look adorable but also taste absolutely heavenly. The soft and fluffy donuts combined with the fruity sweetness of the peach cream make for a delightful flavor combination.
Whether you're planning a romantic surprise for your sweetheart or just want to treat yourself to something special, these heart-shaped donuts are the way to go. So grab your apron, get creative, and let the baking magic unfold. Enjoy!
