How To Make Mini Heart Donuts
INGREDIENTS:
For the Donuts:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (use smaller biscuits)
- 1/2 cup granulated Sugar
- Oil for frying
For the Strawberry Balsamic Sauce –
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 2 Tablespoons dry White Wine
- 2 teaspoons Balsamic Vinegar
- 1/2 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk
INSTRUCTIONS –
Step 1: Prep
Heat about 2 inches of oil in a heavy pot over medium high heat until it reaches 350 degrees. Place granulated sugar in a paper bag or a small bowl.
Step 2: Shape the Donuts
Flatten each biscuit dough, then cut them into fourths. Cut a small slit into the rounded part of the dough and press cut edges into heart shape with fingers or the tip of a knife.
Step 3: Fry to Perfection
Drop the dough into the oil by the bottom point of the heart to get an elongated heart shape. Carefully fry the heart-shaped dough until golden brown (about a minute on each side) then transfer to a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
Step 4: Whip Up the Strawberry Sauce
While your donuts cool, it’s sauce time! Place a small saucepan over medium heat. Add in the strawberries and white wine. Simmer until the strawberries begin to break down, mashing with a fork or potato masher to help them.
Cook until reduced and thickened, about 5 minutes. Take off the heat and add balsamic vinegar. Stir to combine, then swirl into sweetened condensed milk.
Step 5: Dunk, Drizzle, and Delight
Dunk each heart donut into a bowl of sugar while they’re still warm for a delightful outer crunch. Once cooled, drizzle the homemade strawberry sauce generously over the donuts. The combination of the fluffy donut and the sweet-tart strawberry sauce is pure bliss.
Step 6: Serve with Love
Arrange these delectable heart-shaped treats on a pretty plate, and voilà! You’ve just created a masterpiece of love in the form of Easy Heart Donuts with Strawberry Sauce.
