Easter Donuts (Mini Egg Cronuts)
Report
Easter Donuts are a great way to enjoy a cute and festive dessert that is not chocolate! They are a great make ahead treat and you can even leave the decorating to the kids. The best part about this recipe is that you don't have to make the dough! Instead, store-bought puff pastry is used. It is a secret ingredient in the kitchen that is perfect for whipping up quick appetizers and desserts!

Instructions
- Thaw and unroll store bought puff pastry.
- Brush egg wash on ⅔ of the pastry. Fold it back up so that egg wash is between each layer. Gently press the layers together or roll with a rolling pin to seal.
- Cut the donuts using a cookie cutter or donut cutter. Depending on the size of your cookie cutter/donut cutter you should be able to cut at least 4 donuts from each sheet.
- In a large pot, add enough oil to come 2" up the sides. Heat on medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, working in batches carefully fry the donuts until golden brown and puffed, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Carefully remove the donuts from the oil and drain on a paper towel or wire rack. Allow the donuts to fully cool for about 5 minutes or until cool to the touch.
- In a small bowl add the icing sugar and milk. Mix until it is a thick icing consistency. If needed, add a splash of milk at a time to desired icing consistency.
- Dip the cooled donuts in the icing and then in sprinkles. Add 3 mini eggs to the center of each donut.
- Serve and enjoy!
