Description

Quick and easy 5-minute air fryer donuts made from flaky biscuits and topped with a rich homemade chocolate ganache glaze. Perfect for a delightful treat that can be whipped up in no time with minimal ingredients.


Ingredients

Scale

Donuts

  • 1 can flaky large biscuits

Chocolate Ganache Glaze

  • 2/3 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the biscuits: Remove the biscuits from the can and separate them. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prepare for cutting.
  2. Cut out donut holes: Use a 1-inch circle cookie cutter to cut out the centers of each biscuit, creating the donut shape.
  3. Air fry the donuts: Arrange 4 donuts in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F for 5 minutes, flipping them 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 microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and if the chocolate is not fully melted, microwave for an additional 30 seconds. Stir until smooth and set aside.
  5. Glaze the donuts: Once the donuts are cooked, immediately dip them in the warm chocolate ganache glaze. Place the glazed donuts back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally, top with sprinkles or golden Wilton stars for decoration. Serve and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • These biscuit donuts are best enjoyed fresh and warm for optimal taste and texture.
  • You can customize the toppings with your favorite sprinkles or edible decorations.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the air fryer to ensure even cooking.
  • Use parchment paper in the air fryer to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
