Creamy Fried Bombs Donuts sound delicious! Here’s a recipe to make soft, creamy-filled fried donut bombs—perfectly golden on the outside, creamy and sweet inside.
Ingredients:
For the dough:
• 2 ¼ tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast
• ¾ cup warm milk (about 110°F/43°C)
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
• ½ tsp salt
• Vegetable oil (for frying)
For the creamy filling:
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 3 tbsp powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• (Optional: 4 oz cream cheese, softened, for richer filling)
For coating:
• Powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar
Instructions:
1. Prepare the dough:
• In a bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
• Add the yeast mixture to the eggs mixture and stir.
• Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
• Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
• Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
2. Make the creamy filling:
• In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
• (Optional: Beat in softened cream cheese for extra richness.)
• Transfer the filling to a piping bag or a plastic bag with a small hole cut in the corner. Refrigerate until ready to use.
3. Shape and fry the donuts:
• Once dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out to about ½ inch thick on a floured surface.
• Cut into 2-3 inch rounds using a cookie cutter or glass.
• Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
• Fry the dough rounds in batches, about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
• Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
4. Fill and coat:
• When donuts are cool enough to handle, use a skewer or small knife to poke a hole in each donut.
• Pipe the creamy filling into each donut bomb.
• Roll or dust generously with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar.
