Step-by-step instructions for making white cream-filled donuts

 

For the dough

 

Step 1

Stir together your yeast and milk in a bowl. After that, you must let it rest for a minute or until the yeast has dissolved. Then, add your flour, sugar, salt, and eggs into the bowl with yeast and milk. Afterward, mix using an electric mixer (attached with a dough hook). Make sure to beat on low speed for about three minutes. Or beat it until your dough comes together.

Step 2

Next, gradually add your butter; add two pieces of butter at a time, beating after each addition. Then, mix for about 5 to 6 minutes. Or until your butter becomes fully incorporated, and your dough becomes soft. 

Step 3

Afterward, remove your donut dough from your bowl. Then, make sure to wrap it tightly with cling wrap. After that, place your wrapped dough inside the refrigerator. With that, leave it for 6 to 15 hours. Also, you can prepare your donut dough ahead of time before prepping your white cream filling. 

For the white cream filling

Step 1

First off, whisk together the sugar, flour, and salt in a small bowl. Then, set aside. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together your egg yolks for about 30 seconds. Or until well combined. After that, set aside.

Step 2

Afterward, slowly whisk your flour mixture into your egg yolk mixture until it becomes thick and pasty. 

Step 3

Then, place your medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. And warm your milk until you observe bubbles forming around the edges. With that, avoid bringing the milk to a boil. 

Step 4

After that, remove your saucepan from the heat. And carefully drizzle the warm milk into your egg mixture while whisking constantly. Then, scrape your egg mixture back into the saucepan. And place the saucepan over medium heat. Be sure to whisk constantly for 3 minutes until your mixture thickens. In addition to that, it comes to a boil.

Step 5

Next, boil and whisk for about 10 seconds. Then, wait for the cream to become thick and glossy. In addition to that, it no longer has foam on top. When this occurs, ensure to remove the saucepan from the heat as soon as possible.

Step 6

Then, pour your white cream filling through a sieve that you set over a small bowl. Once you finish sieving your cream, whisk in your vanilla. After that, cover your bowl with plastic cling wrap. And press the plastic wrap against the surface of your pastry cream. Doing this avoids skin from forming. 

Step 7

Lastly, place your white cream into the refrigerator for 4 hours. Or until chilled. Remember that you can refrigerate your cream for up to 3 days.

Ingredients

The ingredients you’ll need for this recipe are:

  • 500ml of whole milk
  • 150g of chopped chocolate
  • 1 pod of vanilla
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 125g of caster sugar
  • 80g of plain flour
  • 100ml of double cream

Step 1: Prepare the Chocolate Cream

Add the milk and vanilla pod and seeds to a pan and bring to a boil. In a separate bowl, mix the sugar, flour, and yolks until combined. Add your chopped chocolate to the saucepan of milk until melted. Pour the chocolate milk into your bowl of eggs and whisk. Return the mixture to the saucepan and keep mixing on low heat until it begins to thicken, this should take around five minutes.

Step 2: Sieve the Cream

Sieve the cream into a bowl and then cover it with plastic wrap in the refrigerator.

Step 3: Fill Your Donuts

Once you’ve made your donuts, cover them first in caster sugar. Add the double cream to a bowl and mix until soft peaks form. At this point, remove your filling from the refrigerator and gently add your whipped cream to the filling and then place the chocolate cream into a piping bag.

Once the donuts are cool, pierce a hole into the side of your donut and fill with your cream until the donut starts to swell. Repeat for all donuts and enjoy!

How Long Do Cream-Filled Donuts Last in the Fridge?

Cream-filled donuts must be stored in the fridge. At room temperature, they will not last for more than a few hours. If stored correctly in the refrigerator, they should keep for around 3-5 days. For donuts that aren’t filled with cream (such as glazed, powdered, etc.), they’ll last around 1-2 days if left on the counter, or up to a week if stored in the refrigerator.

What Are Long Cream Filled Donuts Called?

There are two varieties of long cream-filled donuts: eclairs and Long Johns. They may look similar, but there are a few key differences. An éclair comes from France and is usually made from choux pastry. It’s covered in chocolate icing and filled with white cream. Eclairs are baked, rather than fried. Long Johns are made from yeast dough and then fried. However, they are usually also topped with chocolate icing and filled with white cream.

How to Make Ice Cream-Filled Donuts?

Ice cream-filled donuts are incredible and they couldn’t be easier to make yourself. This recipe is inspired by one from Taste. Let’s take a closer look.

Ingredients

The ingredients you’ll need for this recipe are:

  • 8 plain donuts of your choice
  • 400g of ice cream of your choice
  • 2 eggs
  • 400g cake crumbs
  • 1/2 cup of desiccated coconut
  • oil, for frying
  • sauce of your choice, to serve

Recipe

Now all you need to do is:

Step 1: Fill Donuts

Make the hole in the center of your donut slightly bigger with a cutter (around 3cm) and spoon your ice cream into the middle. Pack the ice cream into your donut well and then place it into the freezer until firm; this should take around one hour.

Step 2: Coat Donuts

Grab a bowl and whisk your eggs. In a separate bowl, add the cake crumbs and coconut. First, dip your frozen donuts in the egg bowl, and then into the crumb bowl. Place back in the freezer for another hour or so.

Step 3: Fry Donuts

Fry the donuts in oil (180C) individually, for around one minute on each side. Then drain on paper towels. Repeat until all donuts are fried and serve with the warm sauce of your choice.

How Long Can Cream-Filled Donuts Stay Out?

Cream-filled donuts should not be left out at room temperature for more than a few hours. The cream will begin to spoil at this point and become inedible. If not being consumed immediately, it’s best to keep cream-filled donuts in the fridge, where they’ll keep for around 3-5 days.

What is the Icing Filled Donuts Called?

If you’re looking for an icing-filled donut, look no further than the Boston cream (pie) donut! It’s almost like a Boston cream pie but in the form of a donut! A yeast doughnut with a custard filling and typically a chocolate frosting.
