Did you know that you can make Dulce De Leche from condensed milk?
And it’s oh so good! When you add cappuccino into the mix…. flavor explosion!
So for National Cappuccino Day, these Cappuccino Dulce De Leche Filled Brioche Doughnuts are perfect!
I used Eagle Brand Condensed Milk to make the creamy, Caramelized Dulce de Leche. Their already smooth texture made it that much easier.
Just boil an unopened, label removed can for 3 hours. After it’s cooled, you have a rich, thick Dulce de Leche! Mix it with cappuccino and it’s a winning combination!
Pipe the mixture into warm Brioche Doughnuts for the ultimate decadent dessert.
So, the next time your making creamy Cappuccino Dulce De Leche, give Eagle Brand Condensed Milk a try!
Recipe:
Doughnuts:
1 pk yeast
1 3/4 cups milk
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
5 cups all purpose flour
3 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
Topping:
1 cup sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
Filling:
1 unopened can Eagle Brand Condensed Milk, label removed
1 tsp instant espresso or cappuccino
1 tbsp heavy cream
Doughnuts:
Warm milk in the microwave to about 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Add milk, 1/4 cup sugar and yeast to a standing mixer bowl and let it sit for 10 minutes. Add eggs, vanilla, salt and flour. Put on the dough hook attachment and let dough mix until blended. Add butter one Tbsp at a time until it is fully incorporated. Continue to allow dough to knead for 2 minutes. Remove bowl from standing mixer. Cover with a towel and let dough proof for 1 1/2- 2 hours. Transfer dough to a smaller bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
The next day, divide dough into 12-14 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Cut out parchment paper squares for each doughnut and place them on top. This will make it easier to place them into the oil.
Heat a large pot of oil to about 360-375 degrees. Gently place each doughnut into the oil using the parchment squares. Fry until golden brown turning once. Cool on a baking rack.
Combine 1 cup sugar and cinnamon in a small baking pan or bowl. Completely cover each doughnut with the mixture. Place sugared doughnuts on a baking sheet.
Use a knife or wooden spoon handle to make a hole in the side of each doughnut. Place Dulce de leche in a piping bag with a piping tip attached. Pipe dulce de leche in each doughnut until filled.
Dulce De Leche:
Place Condensed milk can in a saucepan. Add water until it completely covers the can. Boil on medium heat for 3 hours. Cool completely, then refrigerate overnight.
The next day, open the can. The condensed milk should be completely Caramelized.
I’m a small bowl combine instant espresso and heavy cream. Mix until completely incorporated. Add to the Dulce de Leche and mix thoroughly.
