Decadent Hazelnut Cream Donuts: A Sweet Treat for Donut Lovers

Serving: These donuts are best enjoyed fresh out of the fryer when they’re warm and soft. Pair with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate for a delightful treat.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to preserve the texture, reheat them briefly in the oven before serving.
Variations:

Chocolate Hazelnut Donuts: Mix some cocoa powder into the dough for a chocolatey twist.
Nutty Hazelnut Topping: After filling the donuts, top them with chopped hazelnuts for extra crunch.
Fried or Baked: For a lighter option, bake the donuts in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10–12 minutes instead of frying.
FAQ:

1. Can I use a different nut spread for the filling?
Yes! You can substitute hazelnut spread with almond butter, peanut butter, or even cashew butter for a different flavor profile.

2. Can I make the donut dough ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the dough the night before, let it rise, then refrigerate it overnight. Shape and fry the donuts the next morning.

3. Can I freeze these donuts?
Yes! You can freeze the donuts after frying. Just let them cool, then place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. Reheat in the oven before filling and serving.
