Equipment

  • sheet pans
  • wire rack
  • large skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 bag Frozen Dinner Rolls
  • non-stick cooking spray
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (semi sweet)
  • heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  • Place parchment on a large sheet pan. Place Frozen Dinner Rolls on prepared pan spaced out by 1 1/2 – 2 inches apart. Spray top of each dinner roll with non-stick cooking spray lightly. Cover rolls with plastic wrap. Allow to rise for 3-5 hours.
    NOTE: you will need 2 rolls each to make 1 donut.
  • After Dinner Rolls have risen, take 1 roll and place on top of another roll on a cutting board. Smash together in a circular shape. Poke a hole in the center of the dough with your finger and pull dough to form a donut shape. Place onto a parchment covered sheet pan. Once all rolls are shaped, cover with plastic wrap for 30 minutes.
  • Heat 3 inches of oil in a large pot to medium high or 350 degrees. Place donuts in 2 at a time. Fry for 30 seconds to a minute until golden brown on the bottom. Carefully flip donuts over and fry another 30 seconds to 1 minute until golden brown on all sides.
    Remove donuts and place on a wire rack on a sheet pan lined with foil. Finish frying rest of donuts.
  • In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, stir heavy whipping cream and chocolate chips until smooth.
  • Spoon chocolate icing onto tops of donuts. Enjoy.
