We are always on the lookout for ways in which we can combine our favourite mythical creature with tasty, sweet treats. So when we heard about the new (and very exciting!) trend of Unicorn Doughnuts we couldn’t contain our excitement! Deliciously indulgent and oh-so-pretty, these super summer treats will be sure to get your mouth watering.
Step One
Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a bowl, combine all doughnut ingredients, except frozen raspberries, until a batter forms.
Step Two
Fold in frozen raspberries. Pour batter into a greased doughnut pan and bake for around 13-15 minutes.
Step Three
Allow to cool before removing from the doughnut tin.
Step Four
Now make your glaze. In a bowl, combine powdered sugar with 2-4 tsp milk, until a glaze consistency forms. Place your mashed frozen raspberries in a fine mesh strainer and drain the vibrant raspberry juice from the raspberry seeds. Add to white glaze and swirl a couple times, but don’t totally mix in the glaze.
Step Five
Now pour over your doughnuts. Adorn with ice cream cone horns and fondant unicorn ears. To make your unicorn horns, simply chip away most of an ice cream cone to make a smaller horn. To make your unicorn ears, cut rolled out fondant into triangles then fold up edges. Use a paintbrush to ‘paint’ on raspberry juice for the inner ear.
Step Six
