Ingredients
| For the Donut Dough | For the Whipped Cream Filling |
| 300g bread flour and ½ tsp salt | 250ml heavy cream (chilled, minimum 35% fat) |
| 50g granulated sugar | 20g powdered sugar (adjust to taste) |
| 5g dry yeast and 1 large egg | ½ tsp vanilla extract |
| 150ml warm milk and Neutral oil for frying (canola or vegetable) | 1 whipped cream dispenser and 1 n2o charger |
| 40g unsalted butter, softened | Gas cylinder regulator |
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Donut Dough
Stir yeast into warm milk and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add egg and the milk-yeast mixture.
Mix until dough starts to form, then knead in the softened butter. Continue kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Roll out the dough to about 1.5cm thick (~½ inch) and cut out donut shapes using a donut cutter or two round molds.
Let the cut dough rest for a second rise—about 30 minutes.
Heat oil to 170°C / 340°F and fry each donut for about 1 minute per side, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and cool completely.
Step 2: Make the Whipped Cream with a Cream Charger
Pour chilled heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla into the cream dispenser.
Screw on the top, Use a regulator to connect the N2O tank to the dispenser.
Shake the dispenser 20-30 times to distribute the gas evenly.
Remove the charger and test a small amount—your whipped cream should be thick, airy, and pipeable.
Step 3: Assemble the Donuts
Once the donuts have cooled, use a piping nozzle to fill them with cream—or pipe the whipped cream directly on top in a spiral.
Dust with powdered sugar or cocoa powder, or decorate with berries, sprinkles, or melted chocolate.
Serve immediately, or chill for 15 minutes for an even smoother texture.
Tips for Perfect Whipped Cream
Keep it cold: Always use chilled cream (around 39°F / 4°C) for best results.
Use food-grade N2O canisters: High-purity nitrous oxide ensures stable and clean flavor.
Shake well: After charging, give the dispenser a solid 5–10 shakes for optimal texture.
Serving Suggestions
- Pair with coffee, tea, or even matcha lattes.
- These donuts store well in the fridge and make great make-ahead party treats.
- Add fun fillings like chocolate whipped cream, strawberry jam, or caramel sauce for variety.
