  • Author: lilan
  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 donuts 1x

Description

Quick and easy air fryer donuts made from flaky biscuit dough, topped with a rich and glossy chocolate ganache glaze. Perfect for a delicious treat in just 5 minutes!


Ingredients

Scale

Donuts

  • 1 can flaky large biscuits

Chocolate Ganache Glaze

  • 2/3 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • Optional: sprinkles or decorative toppings

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Biscuits: Remove the biscuits from the can and separate them. Place the biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.
  2. Cut Donut Holes: Using a 1-inch circle cookie cutter, carefully cut a hole out of the center of each biscuit to form the donut shape.
  3. Air Fry the Donuts: Arrange 4 donuts in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Close the air fryer and cook at 350°F for 5 minutes, flipping the donuts halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  4. Make the Chocolate Ganache Glaze: While the donuts are cooking, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a small bowl. Microwave the mixture for 30 seconds, then stir. If the chocolate isn’t fully melted, microwave for an additional 20-30 seconds until smooth. Stir and set aside.
  5. Glaze the Donuts: Once the donuts are cooked and slightly cooled, dip each donut into the warm chocolate ganache glaze, coating thoroughly.
  6. Add Toppings and Serve: Place the glazed donuts back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle with colorful sprinkles or golden Wilton stars. Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer; cook donuts in batches if necessary.
  • Microwave times may vary; adjust accordingly to fully melt the chocolate without burning.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use dairy-free chocolate chips.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent donuts from sticking to the baking sheet or air fryer basket.
  • Serve donuts fresh for the best taste and texture; glaze may harden over time.
