>> I'm going to demonstrate how to make our vanilla donuts and chocolate icing.
It's a great recipe for kids; it actually tastes like donuts.
For this recipe, we'll need: heavy cream, Jell-O sugar-free vanilla pudding powder,
soy flour, eggs, butter, sour cream; and for the icing, we'll need: sweeteners, Walden
Farms chocolate syrup, and butter.
The first thing for this recipe is we preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
The first thing we do for the donut recipe is we mix the heavy cream, and remember to use
40% milk fat for the heavy cream.
If you choose to do a meal plan that doesn't include heavy cream, that's perfectly fine,
you can omit it.
The only thing that it does do, it helps with the texture of the donut; it makes it creamier
and fluffier while baking.
Then, we will add in the sugar-free vanilla pudding powder.
Mix that together.
The vanilla pudding powder helps it stay fluffy.
Believe it or not, it actually helps as a binder while baking the donut.
Mix together the egg.
I wouldn't recommend substituting for liquid egg whites; you can, however, it would just
be a lot lighter than this donut with the whole eggs.
And the reason for that is because the yolk helps hold the donut together.
So without that, with just the whites, it wouldn't really do the same baking process.
Soy flour, the butter
You want to make sure that the butter is softened or melted.
You never want to just take it right out of the fridge.
The reason is because you want to be sure that the butter is fully mixed inside of the
batter before you start baking it.
If it's not fully mixed, and you begin to bake the donut batter, then it'll actually
spread out of the donut while it's baking, which you definitely don't want to do because
you could actually lose some fat during that process.
Alright, and then we're also going to add in sour cream.
What the sour cream does it also helps, just as well as the heavy cream, to make it a creamier
consistency, and it makes it more donut-like.
However, if you do want to omit the sour cream, that's perfectly fine; it'll just make it
more dense, but of course you can omit it if you like.
Alright, now we've made our donut batter.
So, we have a donut mold.
They're shaped such as mini donuts.
If you don't have this, you can of course use a muffin pan; you can use a silicone mold.
Just be sure, whatever you do use, you grease.
I use nonstick cooking spray to grease the donut pan that I used.
You'll get maybe about 2 to 5 donuts depending on what your ratio is.
This batter is pretty thick.
So when you are scooping it, just be sure that you're getting it in the mold; and especially
if you're using a donut mold, you want to spread it evenly on all sides.
Now, we'll place the donuts in the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes.
For the chocolate icing, we'll mix together either softened butter or melted butter.
And then we have Walden Farms chocolate syrup with sugar-free DaVinci and three drops of
liquid stevia.
All you do is you mix it together, and that's all you do for the chocolate sauce.
The donuts are all done baking.
So now, we'll gently remove them from the pan.
Be careful that they are hot.
You do want them to cool slightly before you begin to ice them with the chocolate icing.
And the reason is because remember that there's butter in the chocolate icing, and if you
put it on a hot item, it'll melt all over.
So, you want to be careful that it does cool slightly before doing that.
You can either serve this as a dipping sauce or you can serve this as icing on top of the
donut.
It's similar to a butter cream, so as you can see, it spreads on very nicely.
And that's how you make the vanilla donuts.
I hope you enjoyed this recipe.

>> The vanilla donuts with chocolate icing is a favorite of many of our keto kids.
To make chocolate donuts, one could substitute chocolate pudding powder for the vanilla pudding
powder in the batter.
Incorporating butter with the Walden Farms syrup in the icing is a great way to use extra
dietary fat in this recipe.
