Why you will love these Panda Donuts

• Also, this is such a fun project to have with kids.
• In addition, they are cute and could be perfect for birthday party.
• Lastly, they can be decorated in different shapes, and form, to resemble your favorite animals.

Can you store and freeze donuts?

• Yes. On average, freshly baked donuts (not cream-filled) will last for about 1 to 2 days at normal room temperature. However, cream-filled donuts should be stored in the refrigerator as the cream should not be exposed too long without refrigerating.
• To freeze the donuts: wrap them tightly with aluminum foil or plastic freezer wrap, or place in heavy-duty freezer bag.

Author: Catalina Castravet Serves: 10 servings
Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 0 minutes Total time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 6  jelly donuts 
• 12  Oreo Thins 

Glaze:

• ¼ cup  whole milk 
• 1 teaspoon  vanilla extract 
• 2 cups  powdered sugar 

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl combine milk, vanilla and powdered sugar, whisk slowly, until well combined and no lumps. The glaze must be thick, but still pourable, if needed add more powdered sugar or milk to get the right consistency. Dip donuts into the glaze, 1 at a time, if needed use a spoon to add more glaze on top of the donuts. The glaze should be thick enough to barely drip from the donuts. Set on a draining rack placed in a half sheet pan for 3-5 minutes.
2. Once the glaze settled a bit, decorate the donuts. Cut Oreos in half to make panda ears. Cut a half of Oreo in half, to make panda's eyes. Use any remaining pieces for the nose.
3. Using a toothpick dipped in glaze, add a little glaze into the middle of the eyes, to make them more real.
4. Let the donuts stand for 3-4 minutes for the glaze to firm a bit more.
5. Serve!
