Rainbow donuts are a delectable treat that bring a burst of color to the traditional donut options. These vibrant and indulgent donuts are easy to make and are sure to captivate both your eyes and taste buds.
Equipment:
- Small bowls/cupcake liners
- Glass liquid measuring cup
- Measuring cup
- Parchment paper
- Cooking rack
Ingredients:
- Fruity pebbles
- Store-bought donuts (cut in half)
- White frosting
- Shredded coconut
Instructions:
1. Begin by cutting your store-bought or homemade donuts in half.
2. Next, separate the fruity pebbles by color in cupcake liners, making sure that you have all the colors of the rainbow covered (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet).
3. Next, take the white icing out of its original container and place it in a glass measuring cup.
4. Heat it for a maximum of 40 seconds so that it’s ready to be used as frosting.
5. Place some parchment paper in a tray and place the cooking rack on top.
6. Then, put all the donut halves on the cooking rack, leaving space between them for proper decorating.
7. Pour the melted icing on top of each donut half. Be careful to add a layer that’s thick enough to cover the donut, but don’t add too much, as it will spill on the sides and end up on the parchment paper, causing you to lose it.
8. Once you’ve poured the icing over the donuts, proceed to add the colored pebbles or whatever it is that you’re using to reproduce the rainbow colors (it could even be Skittles).
9. Then add the shredded coconut at the ends of the donuts, right where the cuts were made (you might need to add a little bit of extra frosting to make the shredded coconut stick).
10. Don’t move the rack with the rainbow donuts for at least 40 minutes. This gives the frosting a chance to set and prevents the toppings from falling off the surface.
Note: It’s best to pour icing on and decorate just one or two donuts at a time.
