Course Dessert
Servings 14

Ingredients

Dough:

  • Tangzhong: 4 tbsp milk 50g, 1 tbsp flour (10g)
  • 3/4 cup milk 180g
  • 1.5 tsp yeast
  • 3 cups all purpose flour 400g
  • 2 tbsp milk powder 15g
  • 1/4 cup sugar 50g
  • 1 large egg room temp
  • 5 tbsp softened butter divided into 2 parts (70g)
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Assembly:

  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/3 cup sugar 70g
  • 1 cup full fat mascarpone cheese 230g
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream 120g
  • 1/2 cup strong coffee
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder

Instructions

  • Follow the donut dough recipe I shared earlier. Let it rise for 60-90 minutes until it doubles in size.
  • Roll the dough into a 1/2 inch thick sheet and cut out 4” circles. Repeat until you have all the donuts.
  • Let the donuts rest for about 45 minutes in a warm place.
  • Heat 2-3 inches of oil in a wok over medium heat. Once it reaches 350°F, carefully drop in a test donut and cook for 2 minutes per side. Fry all donuts accordingly.
  • For the mascarpone filling, whip egg yolks and sugar over a Bain Marie until they triple in volume. Remove from heat, let it rest for 5 minutes, then whisk in the mascarpone until combined. Finally, fold in the whipped cream.
  • Slice the donuts in half horizontally. Brush them generously with coffee on both sides (or do a quick dip). Fill the bottom half with mascarpone cream, cover with the top half, and pipe more cream dollops.
  • Cool for 2 hours, dust with cocoa powder, and get ready to savor these delightful Tiramisu Donuts!
