A quick recipe for Donutmisu that will make your guests think you are one heck of a rockstar! A few ingredients and you have an elegant dessert to wow your friends and family.
This is my last donut laced installment for Doughnutweek! I figured I’d pull out all the stops for you on this post. Afterall, this is Farmgirl GOURMET. Right? Ok ok, there’s not a lot gourmet about a doughnut, but using them to make something completely decadent and dessertlike? I have to get a few brownie points for creativity. If only I could get on Chopped and the ingredients in the box were donut holes, mascarpone and chocolate – I’d surely be Tom Allen’s fave.
I promise you that this recipe is incredibly easy to make and if you didn’t tell anyone, they’d never know that you bought donut holes to make this. Seriously! The cream is off the chain. I managed to have a little extra (ok I didn’t use it all purposely) and it was quite delicious on a spoon. Like really delicious on a spoon. I know I’m gushing, but seriously – this is one recipe you should try! Imagine making this for your honey for Valentine’s Day? My honey taste tested it and after his eyes stopped bugging from his head he said ” Holy @#$%^ this is good”. He’s one tough cookie to impress. Part of the perks of being a foodies husband I guess.
Now that I have you jonesin for Donutmisu – please check out the amazing deliciousness from the other doughnut girls. Â They have outdone themselves AGAIN and I am wishing we all lived on the same block so we could have a doughnut party in person.

- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoon Frangelico almond liqueur, divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 tablespoon espresso powder

Instructions
- In the bowl of a mixer fitted with whisk attachment add the egg yolks and sugar and beat until pale yellow and thick, about 5 minutes, scraping down sides as necessary. Add the mascarpone, heavy cream, 1 tablespoon Frangelico and vanilla. Beat until soft peaks form, about 6-8 minutes. Set aside.
- Add the boiling water to a medium bowl and stir in espresso powder. Allow to cool slightly. Stir in 2 tablespoons Frangelico.

Hi! I’m Heather
I’m Heather, a recipe developer and content creator based in Vancouver, Washington. I started Farmgirl Gourmet in 2006 because I believed weeknight dinners shouldn’t be boring and gourmet shouldn’t mean complicated. I’m also the co-founder of Spiceology, so safe to say I think about food for a living. Stick around for recipes that actually make it into your regular rotation.
