Easy, fried donuts in under 30 minutes! These Cookies 'n Cream Donuts are made using Pillsbury Grands biscuits, Hershey Cookies 'n cream bars, Oreos and Chocolate frosting. Perfect, right?!
In a large, heavy bottomed skillet, heat oil about 1/2-3/4 inch high. Depending on your size skillet will determine how much oil is necessary. Bring oil to a sizzle when you drop a couple drops of water into it.
Separate biscuits and using a one inch circle cutter (I used a cannoli tube) pop center hole out of each biscuit so it resembles a donut. Fry each biscuit for 2-3 minutes each side. Allow to cool and dry on paper towels.
While donuts are cooling, make chocolate glaze. In a small saucepan on medium low heat, mix together the cream, milk, butter, vanilla and corn syrup. When butter is completely melted, turn heat to low and add in the chocolate, whisking smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar.
Dip each donut into the glaze. Drizzle the melted Hershey Cookies 'n Cream bar over each donut and immediately sprinkle with crushed cookies. Allow the chocolate to set, about 15 minutes. ENJOY
Notes
Once you learn how to make fried donuts with biscuit dough, you’ll love trying all kinds of different flavors.
You can leave off the melted cookies ‘n cream bar and Oreos to make plain chocolate glazed donuts. Or swap out the chocolate glaze for a different flavor of icing instead.
The maple glaze from this baked pumpkin donuts recipe would be delicious on fried biscuit donuts. So would this cinnamon glaze!
Love the chocolate glaze but want a different flavor combo? Add some chopped nuts to the tops of the donuts instead of cookie crumbs. Sprinkles are always a good idea on glazed donuts, too!
Have fun experimenting with different toppings and glazes. That’s half the fun of making homemade donuts!
