Description
Dirty Chai Cream-Filled Doughnuts are a delightful treat that combines the rich flavors of chai tea with the sweetness of cream-filled doughnuts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup brewed chai tea, cooled
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cream)
- Oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and cooled chai tea until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Using a spoon or a piping bag, drop spoonfuls of the doughnut batter into the hot oil, frying a few at a time until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove the doughnuts from the oil and drain on paper towels. Allow them to cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Once the doughnuts are cool, use a piping bag to fill each doughnut with the whipped cream.
- Dust the filled doughnuts with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- For a lighter version, you can bake the doughnuts at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes instead of frying.
- To add a twist, consider infusing the whipped cream with a splash of bourbon or flavored syrup for extra depth.
