Instructions
- Beat the eggs in a mixer, gradually adding the sugar. Add oil, vanilla sugar, orange juice, flour and baking powder and continue to mix until well combined.
- Spray a donut pan with cooking oil and pour the batter into the pan filling them only half way.
- Bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes or until slightly golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Release the donuts from the pan and place them on a lined tray.
To prepare the chocolate shell
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in a plastic cup in the microwave at 20 second intervals. Dunk the top half of each donut in the chocolate and put on the lined tray to dry.
To prepare the chocolate mousse
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave with ¼ cup whipped cream. Refrigerate until completely cooled, about ½-1 hour then beat with 100 grams remaining whipped cream until stiff.
- Place mousse in a piping bag and pipe into the middle of the doughnut holes.
Notes
TopTip!
For easier coating of the donuts with chocolate, freeze the donuts for a couple of hours before hand. This way the melted chocolate will harden almost immediately on the frozen donuts giving them a smoother look.

DON'T HEAT ANYTHING IN PLASTIC!!!! All plastic sheds microparticles and heating a food in plastic causes it to shed even more microparticles! Use glass:-)
Good point! THANK YOU for the reminder. Too often overlooked basic food safety!
