Ok, this isn't as much a recipe as it is a genius (copycat) idea of putting FUN TOPPINGS on DOUGHNUTS. I know, right?? Earlier this year, a friend and I went to Austin to visit another friend, and we had a great time eating at food trucks. Austin was a pioneer in this trend, and there are silver Airstreams everywhere selling good eats. My very favorite, which will be no surprise to anyone familiar with my sweet tooth, was Gordough's, which serves enormous doughnuts topped with all kids of deliciousness. Ever since I experienced it, I thought it would be fun to recreate them at home. So last night for the Bachelorette finale, we did just that. These were a BIG hit, and SO easy. The two I copied were Dirty Berry and Mama's Cake (details below). I don't have any measurements because it depends on how many people you're serving. The beauty of these is that it's just as simple to do a small batch (doughnuts for one!), or a large one (party hearty!). I'm ready to do this again!!
Ingredients:
Glazed doughnuts (you can make your own, or just buy them at Krispy Kreme like I did)
Jar of hot fudge, warmed in the microwave
Strawberries, hulled and sliced
Yellow cake mix, mixed with milk and/or water to a good drizzle consistency
Sprinkles/jimmies
Instructions for Dirty Berry doughnuts:
Place hulled and sliced strawberries in a bowl, and sprinkle them with sugar. Let the berries macerate for about 30 minutes. Heat a pan over medium heat, and roast the strawberries until they're soft and juicy.
Cover a doughnut with hot fudge and the roasted strawberries. Devour.
Instructions for Mama's Cake doughnuts:
Cover a doughnut with hot fudge, drizzle with yellow cake mixture, and top with sprinkles. Enjoy!
