Eggnog Creme Brulee Donut
Listen, I've eaten my fair share of donuts in my life. We actually have a whole holiday dedicated to frying everything in sight called Hanukkah, and the star of the show is always the donut, AKA sufganiyot. This time, I filled them with pastry cream, but I gave it a festive twist by adding Christmas essence, since these two holidays often overlap. I spiced up the pastry cream with eggnog and a touch of nutmeg, creating an irresistible filling you'll want to pipe on everything. But the real showstopper is the caramel crust. I melted sugar and water in a pan (without stirring) and then dipped the filled donuts, letting them cool to form a crispy caramel shell. Breaking that caramel on top is not only satisfying but also absolutely delicious, pairing perfectly with the eggnog pastry cream and the light, airy donuts. Make these for your loved ones—they’ll never forget them, I promise!
