Rainbow Doughnut Icing Food

3 DOUGHNUT FROSTINGS

Steps:

• Prepare the doughnuts according to the recipe and directions. Set warm fried doughnuts aside as you prepare the frosting.
• Puree the strawberries in a food processor. Whisk the puree, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, and strawberry jam together in a medium bowl. Dip the doughnuts into the strawberry frosting 2 or 3 times (it's thinner than the others), then cover with sprinkles.
• Whisk the melted butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, 2 Tablespoons (30ml) of milk, and salt together in a medium bowl. Whisk in the remaining 1 Tablespoon (15ml) of milk to thin, if desired. It's easier to dip the doughnuts if the glaze is thinner. Dip the doughnuts into the vanilla frosting, then cover with sprinkles.
• Place the chocolate chips, butter, corn syrup, and water in a medium bowl. Melt in 20 second increments in the microwave, stirring after each time, until completely melted and smooth. Dip the doughnuts into the chocolate frosting, then cover with sprinkles.

RAINBOW DOUGHNUT ICING

Steps:

• In large bowl, mix powdered sugar, milk and corn syrup until smooth. Divide icing evenly among 6 small bowls. Add a different color gel to each bowl; stir to blend. Place each color icing in small resealable food-storage plastic bag. Cut off tiny corner of each bag.
• Place cooling rack on large cookie sheet; place doughnuts on rack. To make a rainbow on each doughnut, pipe one stripe of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple icing over top and slightly over edge of doughnut so that colors just touch. Pipe 1 or 2 doughnuts at a time so icing can blend together slightly before setting. The icing will spread slightly and drip down sides. Let stand at least 30 minutes or until icing is set. Store in tightly covered container.

3 EASY WAYS TO MAKE DELICIOUS, SWEET DONUT GLAZE

Steps:

• Measure out 2 cups (240 g) of powdered sugar into a mixing bowl. Use a dry measuring cup to measure out 2 cups (240 g) of powdered sugar. Pour them into a large mixing bowl. Powdered sugar is also known as confectioner's sugar or icing sugar. This recipe will make a delicious classic, vanilla-flavored donut glaze.
• Stir 1⁄4 c (59 mL) of milk into the powdered sugar using a whisk. Use a liquid measuring cup to measure out 1⁄4 c (59 mL) of milk. Pour it slowly into the bowl of powdered sugar while simultaneously stirring it in. Keep stirring until the mixture becomes uniformly smooth. If the glaze is not smooth and creamy yet, try adding more milk 1⁄4 US tbsp (3.7 mL) at a time.
• Mix in 1⁄4 tsp (1.2 mL) of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Use a measuring spoon to measure out 1⁄4 tsp (1.2 mL) of vanilla extract and pour it into the glaze mixture. Grab a pinch of salt, which is about 1/8 tsp (0.75 g) of salt, and dump it into the bowl as well. Stir the vanilla and salt in thoroughly. If you want a stronger vanilla flavor, you can use up to 1⁄2-1 tsp (2.5-4.9 mL) of extract. You could also add other flavoring ingredients at this point if you want. For example, try adding the zest from 1/4 of a lemon for a lemony glaze. You can also try adding a dry spice like cinnamon to your glaze for a different flavor. Try mixing in about 1⁄2 tsp (2.5 mL) of ground cinnamon and see how it tastes, then add more if you want a stronger flavor.
• Dip your donuts into the glaze and put them on a rack until the glaze hardens. Grab a homemade or store-bought unglazed donut and dip the top half into the glaze until the donut is half submerged. Place the donut unglazed-side-down on a metal rack and let it sit until the glaze hardens. Repeat this for each donut you want to glaze. You don't have to stop at glazing just half the donut! Feel free to cover the whole thing in glaze if you want to. You can also dip the donuts into other toppings, such as rainbow sprinkles, while the glaze is still liquid.
