🤷🏻♀️Recipe FAQs
Do I need to use homemade donuts?
You can certainly bake your own donuts, but it is not necessary. You can buy glazed donuts and use those. Just make sure they are super fresh.
Can I use fresh whipped cream in these donuts?
You sure can! Use heavy whipping cream and follow this recipe for homemade whipped cream from Sally's Baking Addiction.
Can I store leftovers?
Unfortunately, because of the whipped cream, this will not store well. They should be made before eating and then served.
