Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Vegetable oil for frying
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• Chocolate shavings or sprinkles for garnish (optional)

How to Make Decadent Stacked Donuts

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5. Using a donut cutter or two round cookie cutters, cut out donut shapes from the dough.
6. Carefully place the donuts in the hot oil, frying in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
7. Remove donuts from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
8. While donuts cool, make the cream filling by whipping the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.
9. Once cooled, fill a piping bag with the whipped cream and inject it into the center of each donut.
10. For the chocolate glaze, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.
11. Dip the filled donuts into the chocolate glaze and let excess chocolate drip off.
12. Stack the donuts high, drizzle with extra chocolate, and sprinkle chocolate shavings or sprinkles on top, if desired.
13. Serve immediately and enjoy the decadent layers!

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your oil is at the right temperature for even frying.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan; fry in batches for best results.
• Allow the donuts to cool completely before filling to prevent the cream from melting.
• Use a piping tip for a clean and precise filling process.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the heavy cream with flavored whipped cream, such as vanilla or hazelnut.
• Add a fruit filling like raspberry or strawberry for a fruity twist.
• Drizzle caramel sauce over the finished stacked donuts for an extra layer of indulgence.
• Experiment with different glazes, such as white chocolate or maple.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh berries for a refreshing contrast.
• Coffee or espresso for a perfect pairing.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert experience.
• Whipped cream for extra creaminess on the side.
