Yeah, we should be weaning ourselves off of the post holiday sugar binge with healthy salads and spinach smoothies. But seriously? What’s one more doughnut going to hurt? When Carrie and Brandy suggested a full week of doughnut popping recipes I jumped on board.

I recently heard a quote, “Today’s food is next month’s body”… well… those skinny jeans aren’t going to fit in February – because I promise these recipes are going to have you drooling at your computer screen all week long.

Doughnuts Can Be Intimidating

There is a lot of hot oil involved, but if you use a properly sized Dutch Oven or Heavy Pot, you shouldn’t have to worry excessively about that. Just make sure to always leave a few inches from the top of the oil to the edge of the pot. It will get higher when you add the doughnuts, so be conservative here.. Also, a wire basket scoop is a huge help. I have the one I’ve used linked in the recipe.

  9. Heat oil in a pan with high sides or fryer to 350 degrees. Line a rack with paper towels. Place remaining sugar in a paper bag.
  10. Working in batches, when the oil is hot, fry doughnuts, for 2 to 3 minutes a side, 2 or 3 at a time. Carefully flip, and continue to fry 2 to 3 minutes longer, until golden. 
  11. Using a slotted spoon or wire basket, let oil drip from doughnuts, then transfer doughnuts carefully to sugar bag. Shake to cover doughnuts. 
  12. Let cool on paper towel lined rack. Repeat until all doughnuts are fried.
  13. Let cool completely.

Meanwhile, make the Irish cream filling.

  2. Spoon into a piping bag fitted with a small star tip.
  3. When doughnuts are cool, pop the piping bag filled with cream into the center of a doughnut, squeeze to fill until a bit pops out, making sure there is a good amount of filling in each doughnut. 
  4. Repeat until all doughnuts are filled.

    Yes, yes, yes! My husband and I have been making Irish coffee almost every night so these doughnuts are right up our alley. I cannot wait to try these! I feel like we need to get together in real life and make doughnuts 🙂

    Gorgeous photos and amazing looking irish cream filled doughnuts! I’d love to make this for my family Christmas morning. Do you think it would be possible to make this the 23rd, let it cool and then seal up and then reheat Christmas morning?

      Hi Jill, thank you so much for reaching out to me. For the dough, I may proof it the day before, and prepare it the morning of. Most baked goods, I’m ok with prepping a day or two ahead, but with doughnuts in particular, I feel like the fresher the better! I am sorry that I don’t have a better fix for you. Please let me know if you try these. Merry Christmas!
