Tips

This recipe works best with a doughnut pan, but if you don't have one, don't worry! You can create your own makeshift pan using a normal muffin tray and some tin foil.

Simply cut or tear your tin foil into squares that are just slightly bigger than the cups in your muffin tray. Around 5" by 5" should work well. Wrap the foil over your finger, then fold the sides up to create a mould. The moulds should fit nicely in the muffin cups and the foil should create a perfect doughtnut-shaped hole.

Variations

This recipe uses melted pink chocolate, but you can create your own using melted white chocolate and food colouring. Go wild with any colour you like! Making these for a birthday or celebration? Choose a food colouring in the favourite colour of your special person.
