Best 6 Galactic Chocolate Donuts Recipes

CHOCOLATE DONUTS

Steps:

• In a large bowl add 2 tablespoons of unsalted softened butter along with 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 golden brown sugar. Mix it well using an electric hand mixer.
• Then add 1 large egg and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix it again once more.
• Now, in a separate bowl sift together these dry ingredients: 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 Tablespoon cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt,
• Now add 1/3 of the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture and begin working it in with a spatula.
• Then add a third of your sour cream (so 1/3 cup at a time). Mix again.
• Then add the second third of the flour mixture, mix again, then add another 1/3 cup of sour cream, mix.
• Now add the last third of the flour, mix, then add the last 1/3 cup of sour cream.
• Place the donut dough into a large sheet of plastic wrap and cover it tightly. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.
• Now lightly dust your work surface with flour and begin rolling out the chocolate donut dough to about 1/2 inch thick. 
• Now use a donut cutter or 2 different sized biscuit cutters to cut out as many donuts as possible. It helps to dip the cutters in flour to prevent sticking.
• Now reshape the extra scraps, roll it out again to 1/2 inch thick, and cut as many donuts out once more. Repeat this step as needed. I got about 12 donuts.
• Fill a heavy-bottomed pot with about 2 inches of corn oil and bring the oil temperature to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Carefully fry the donuts in batches for about 2 minutes per side. Keep a close eye on them to avoid overcooking them. Also, make sure to adjust the heat according to the thermometer. If it brings to climb too high, bring the heat down a notch.
• Once the donuts are fried, place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the extra oil.
• Now, for the glaze, heat 1/2 cup of heavy cream to a light boil, then pour it over 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips. Make sure all the chocolate is fully submerged, then use a whisk to mix it well. You may need to place it in the microwave for about 10 seconds at a time to reheat it.
• Once the glaze is smooth, whisk in 2 tablespoons of unsalted melted butter.
• Now dip the slightly cooled donuts into the glaze and let them set on a cooling rack. Then enjoy with a cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk.

CHOCOLATE DONUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F/180°. Grease a donut pan with oil or butter. Set aside.
• Make the donuts: Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl whisk egg with sugar until well combined. Add milk, yogurt, melted butter and vanilla extract, and whisk until combined. Pour into the flour mixture and mix until just combined. The batter will be thick.
• Fill donut cavities with batter ¾ way full using a spoon or a piping bag (much easier). Cut a corner off the bottom of the bag and pipe the batter into each donut cup.
• Bake for 9-10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the donuts comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes in pan, then remove donuts from pan and transfer to a wire rack. Allow to cool completely before glazing.
• Make the chocolate glaze: Melt the chocolate, heavy cream, and butter gently in the microwave (in 30-second intervals, stirring in between) or a double boiler until smooth. Dip the tops of the donuts into the chocolate glaze, and place on a cooling rack to set.
• Donuts are best eaten the same day or keep them for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

GALAXY DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• In a bowl large enough to dip a doughnut into, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, coconut oil and vanilla until smooth and silky. Adjust the powdered sugar until the icing is a thick liquid consistency but not too drippy. Add 2 drops of purple food coloring and mix to tint the base. Add 1 to 2 drops of each color and swirl the surface of the icing several times with a skewer or toothpick.
• Dip a doughnut on one side into the icing, letting the icing drip off for a moment before turning it over and placing it icing-side up on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Continue with the remaining doughnuts. As the food coloring drops become muddled, scoop out the top layer of icing and add new color combinations. You will probably get 2 dips out of each swirl. Sprinkle the doughnuts with edible glitter and let dry.

BAKED CHOCOLATE DONUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease donut pans well.
• Sift flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt together into a large bowl.
• Whisk milk, egg, butter, oil, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Stir into flour mixture until just combined.
• Spoon batter into the prepared donut pans, filling each well 3/4 full.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes; tap donuts out onto a sheet pan.
• Combine confectioners' sugar, hot water, and remaining vanilla extract in a bowl to make the glaze.
• Place parchment paper under a wire cooling rack. Transfer cooled donuts to the rack and coat in glaze, letting excess drip onto parchment paper; coat the donuts a second time if desired.

GALACTIC CHOCOLATE DONUTS

Steps:

• For the donuts, heat oven to 375°F Grease and flour pan. Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
• Stir in buttermilk, eggs, butter and vanilla; beat until just combined.
• Fill each well of a donut pan 2/3 full and bake 10-12 minutes, until the top of the donuts spring back when lightly touched.
• Bake 10-12 minutes, until the top of the donuts spring back when lightly touched.
• Cool 5 minutes in pan; invert onto cooling rack and cool completely.
• While the donuts cools, prepare the glaze. Mix powdered sugar, milk and coconut oil in a bowl until it reaches a smooth consistency.
• Pour approximately ½ cup of the mixture into a small bowl. Add purple and blue food coloring drops into the bowl.
• Gently mix, making marble-looking pattern using a small stick or skewer.
• Dip top of the donut into the glaze, gently lift and remove.
• Sprinkled glazed donuts with edible glitter.
• Repeat steps 7 through 10 until all the donuts are glazed.

GALAXY DONUTS

Smooth batter into the pan. Bake 9 minutes or until donuts are cooked through. Let sit about 5 minutes before popping out of the pan.
