Instructions
- Prep
Thaw biscuit dough covered, either at room temp. 45-60 minutes until fully thawed or refrigerate overnight.
- Irish Cream Filling
Combine milk, pudding mix, and Irish cream in large saucepan over medium heat.
Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, then remove from heat.
Pour cream filling through a mesh strainer into a shallow half hotel pan; cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface of the filling.
Refrigerate until filling is completely cool and thickened, about 2-4 hours or overnight.
- Espresso Ganache
Add chocolate chips to a heat-proof/metal bowl.
Whisk together heavy cream, butter, sugar, and 2 Tbsp of espresso powder in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
Remove from heat and pour hot cream mixture over chocolate chips; add remaining 1 Tbsp espresso powder.
Let stand 5 minutes, then whisk until combined.
Pour into a shallow third size hotel pan and cool at room temperature until ganache is completely cool and thickened, about 15-20 minutes. (If ganache gets too firm to dip donuts, transfer to a saucepan and heat until ganache melts.)
- Assembly
Roll out biscuit dough into 4-inch circles while still cold.
Drop dough, in batches, into fryer basket in oil preheated to 350°F.
Cover with second fryer basket to keep dough submerged and cook 1-2 minutes per side until cooked through.
Remove from oil, drain and allow to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Finishing
Add Irish Cream Filling to a piping bag fitted with a small (#6) round tip.
Add prepared whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
Poke a small hole all the way through the side of each of the donut using a 1/4” bamboo skewer or wooden dowel; gently move dowel around inside donut to make room for Filling.
Pipe approx. 1 oz of Irish Cream Filling into each donut until fully filled without spilling out.
Dip the tops of each donut in Espresso Ganache; let set for about 5 minutes.
Top donuts with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg; serve immediately or hold under refrigeration.
Recipe Tips
Substitute dark chocolate chips for a richer ganache.
