Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 60 grams Stevia (granulated or powdered equivalent to sugar)
- 120 milliliters Whole milk
- 60 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 240 milliliters Heavy cream
- 50 grams Sugar-free vanilla pudding mix
- 5 grams Gelatin powder
- 60 milliliters Cold water
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, instant yeast, salt, and Stevia.
In a saucepan, gently warm the milk (do not boil) and then add the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and knead until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is sticky, add a bit more flour.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
While the dough rises, prepare the Bavarian cream filling. Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a small bowl and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling. Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar-free vanilla pudding mix until smooth.
Add the bloomed gelatin to the cream mixture and stir until well combined. Let it cool to room temperature.
Once the mixture is cool, whip it until it becomes a thick cream, then refrigerate until the donuts are ready to fill.
After the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a donut cutter to cut out rounds.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large heavy pot to 180°C (355°F). Carefully fry the donuts in batches until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes on each side.
Drain the donuts on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Fill a piping bag with the Bavarian cream. Using the tip of the piping bag, poke a hole into the side of each donut and fill with cream until plump.
Optionally, dust the donuts with powdered Stevia for an extra touch of sweetness before serving.
