Irresistible chocolate coffee doughnuts with fudgy hazelnut icing and elegant embellishments. Perfect for any time of day.
Ingredients:
  • 3 tsp dried yeast
  • 125.00 gm warm water
  • 62.50 ml hot espresso coffee
  • 80g butter, chopped
  • 193.13 gm milk
  • 1.20 gm salt
  • 750.00 ml plain flour
  • 53.75 gm caster sugar
  • Canola oil, for deep-frying
  • 300.00 gm Nutella
  • 126.25 gm thickened cream, whipped
  • 125g packet skinless hazelnuts, toasted, roughly chopped
  • 50g chocolate curls
  • 20.00 ml chocolate silver pearls
  • 200g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 63.13 gm thickened cream
Instructions:
  • Combine yeast and water in a small bowl, whisk until yeast dissolves, and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, coffee, and milk. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the butter melts. Remove from heat and let it stand for 10 minutes to cool slightly before using.
  • In a large bowl, mix salt, flour, and sugar. Create a well in the center and pour in the yeast and butter mixtures. Stir until a soft, sticky dough forms. Knead for 2 minutes, or until dough is just smooth.
  • Transfer the dough to a generously greased large bowl. Cover it with lightly greased plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • Gently deflate dough and place it on a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for about 30 seconds until smooth. Roll out the dough to 1cm thickness using a floured rolling pin. Cut out 14 rounds with an 8.5cm cutter, reshaping dough as needed. Arrange rounds on 2 baking paper-lined trays and let rest for 15 minutes.
  • Fill a large saucepan with oil until it reaches 5cm up the side. Heat the oil over high heat until hot. Reduce heat to medium-low. Fry doughnuts in 4 batches for 2 minutes per side until golden. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined tray to drain and cool.
  • Fill a piping bag with Nutella using a 1cm plain round nozzle. Inject a small amount of Nutella into each doughnut. Repeat this process for all doughnuts. Follow the same steps by filling another piping bag with whipped cream and injecting a small amount of cream into each doughnut. Repeat for all doughnuts.
  • Create Decadent Chocolate Fudge Icing: Gently melt chocolate and cream in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Pour the velvety mixture into a heatproof bowl and let it cool for 5 minutes.
  • Gently dip the top of each doughnut into the luscious icing, ensuring it's fully coated. Place them on a wire rack and generously sprinkle with hazelnuts, chocolate curls, and pearls for an elegant touch. Ready to serve and delight your guests!
