Hacks To Perfect Triple Chocolate Donuts For The Ultimate Chocolate Lover

Use Good Chocolate

The key to these triple chocolate donuts is good chocolate. Use premium dark, milk and white chocolate for a smoother taste. Good chocolate means each bite has the perfect balance of flavors, from the bitter dark to the sweet milk and white. Spend the extra cash on good chocolate and your donuts will go from good to great.

Use Buttermilk For Extra Softness

For super soft and fluffy donuts, use buttermilk instead of regular milk. The acid in buttermilk reacts with the baking soda and makes the donuts rise better and lighter. This will give you a melt in your mouth experience that pairs perfectly with the rich chocolate.

Add Chocolate Extract To The Batter

Add a teaspoon of chocolate extract to the batter to intensify the chocolate flavor. While vanilla extract is common, chocolate extract amplifies the chocolate without adding extra cocoa powder. This little extra will make your donuts even more decadent and give them a deep, chocolatey taste.

Use A Piping Bag For Perfect Donut Shape

To get a perfect donut shape use a piping bag to fill your donut pan. This helps the batter distribute evenly in the pan, so you get uniform baking and you have control over how much batter you’re using in each cavity, so you don’t get overflows or uneven cooking.

Add Chocolate Ganache Filling

For an extra chocolatey kick add a chocolate ganache filling in the center of each donut. Once the donuts are cool make a quick ganache by melting dark chocolate with a bit of cream. Use a piping bag to inject the ganache into the center of each donut. Every bite will be a chocolatey surprise!

Drizzle With Chocolate

Once the donuts are baked and cool drizzle with more melted chocolate. You can use dark, milk and white chocolate to create a design. Not only does this make them look better but it’s more chocolatey!

Try Fillings

While chocolate ganache is a classic, don’t be afraid to try other chocolate fillings. Try Nutella or melted chocolate hazelnut spread for a creamy gooey centre. Or a rich chocolate mousse filling to make the donuts even more indulgent. Choose a filling you love and take your donuts to the next level.
