About the Recipe: Would you love to have a little donut, frosted with sweet dark chocolate? These are easy to make, uses softened dried cherries for a sweet tart flavor, and are dotted with tiny chocolate chips. Serve them frosted with melted dark or white chocolate and don’t forget a few sprinkles for the spirit. Have fun!
Fill Donut Pans: For easier filling, use a piping bag or resealable plastic bag. (I place my bag, tip side down, in an empty tall glass and fold over the upper edges. Fill the bag with part of the batter; cut off the bottom about ½ inch. Watch out as the filling is soft and can run out.)
Baking the Donuts: Bake in preheated 400-degree F oven on an upper rack for about 10 minutes. Remove from oven; set aside for about 5 minutes. Remove to cooling rack. Cool completely.
Frost the Donuts with Dark, Semi-Sweet or White Chocolate:
Chocolate Glaze: Place chocolate chips and milk ln a microwave safe bowl. Cook on power 5 in microwave for 1 minutes; stop and stir after 30 seconds; continue cooking until chocolate is melted; stir until smooth chocolate mixture.
Pipe or spoon batter into donut pan, filling about 3/4 full.
White Chocolate: Place chips in microwave safe bowl; cook on power 5 for about 2 minutes, stopping every 30 seconds to stir chocolate until chocolate is melted. White chocolate needs to melt slowly. You can also melt white chocolate in a double boiler if desired.
Frost Donuts: Dip or spread each donut in chocolate mixture; top each with sprinkles as desired. Let chocolate set before serving. (To firm the chocolate faster, place in the refrigerator until firm. Serves: about 15 to 16 donuts
Cook’s Note: The small nonstick donut pans tends to bake the bottom of the donut dark and leave the top much lighter. Test with a toothpick to check the doneness. If you frost with only one kind of chocolate, you will need to double the recipe. Note: I used coconut oil but I’m sure you could use some melted Ghee butter if desired.
