Everybody loves a good donut now and then, especially myself. They are delicious, easy to eat and can come in virtually any flavour combinations under the sun. Regardless of your favourite, I decided to come up with a twist on the classic donut and think a little outside of the box. So if you’re planning on entertaining and want to whip up something a little fun or fancy when it comes to an after dinner treat, look no further. These donut truffles also make easy gift ideas or even a great project to work on with the young ones.
Kenwood have recently introduced their new kMix range and I was lucky enough to get my hands on their new kMix Blender in a stunning bright white – my kind of colour! Creating and baking is one of the ways I express myself so I was excited to give the blender a spin, which made these donuts a breeze to make! Now you can either go for the classic Original Donut Truffle or get creative and make up your own favourite combinations. So below I’ve put together and included these popular flavours to also try, Chocolate Peanut, Custard Cremé and Jam & Cream.
