I love doughnuts for dessert, for breakfast, for a snack, for any time of the day! We love to have doughnuts and doughnut holes to dip into sauces. You can make chocolate ganaches, fruit purees, caramel, or any type of sauce. The possibilities are endless! You can’t go wrong with any one that you choose.
For this recipe, I choose to use dark and white chocolate ganaches. Make the doughnut holes the same way you would make regular sized doughnuts. The only difference is the sizing. Use a cookie scoop to measure out equal portions of the dough. Roll them into small balls, and place them on a baking sheet to rise. Fry them until the brwned on all sides. Let them cool on a wire rack placed on top of a baking sheet so that the oil can drain.
To make the ganaches, mix the dark chocolate and white chocolate with heavy cream in two separate bowls. I used more heavy cream than usual, to make the sauces looser and better for dipping. If you want the ganaches thick then use less cream.
Dip the doughnuts in the ganaches and enjoy! Perfect and bite size!

Ingredients
Doughnuts
- 1 package yeast
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 cups flour
- 10 tbsp softened butter

- 1/2 cup heavy cream
White Chocolate Ganache
- 3/4 cup chopped white chocolate
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
Doughnuts
- Warm buttermilk in the microwave until slightly warm but not hot. Pour in a Stand mixer bowl. Sprinkle yeast on top. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Add sugar, salt, vanilla, and eggs. Attach dough hook and turn on the machine. Add the flour a cup at a time. After the flour is in, add the softened butter a tbsp at a time. Let the dough kneed for a few minutes. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let it rise for 1-2 hours. Punch dough so it deflates. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, remove bowl from the refrigerator. Use a cookie scoop to scoop dough into equal sized small balls. Roll each ball and place on a baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap to rise. To speed the process, place a pan of boiling water in the bottom rack of the oven, place the baking sheet with the doughnuts on a higher rack and close the oven door.When the doughnuts have risen, heat vegetable oil in a pot and fry them until browned. Place them on a baking rack to let the excess oil come off of them for about 5 minutes.
Ganaches
- Place dark chocolate and cream in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 45 seconds-1 minute. Stir until smooth. Repeat process for white chocolate. Pour each ganache into a bowl for dipping.
