Ingredients

For the Donuts:

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted
  • Tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup cranberries chopped

For the icing:

  • ¼ cup cranberries pureed
  • 4 Tablespoons heavy cream plus more to get consistency what you want
  • 2 cups powdered sugar sifted*

Instructions

For the Donuts:

  • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Spray your donut pan with non stick cooking spray.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, both spices and salt.
  • In another mixing bowl, whisk your eggs, then add the cream, butter and vanilla and whisk until incorporated.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and blend just until incorporated. It will be a little thick, don’t worry about this. Fold in the chopped cranberries.
  • Open a freezer bag and dump the dough into the bag. Seal the bag and snip the bottom corner off one side.
  • Pipe the dough into your donut pan about ? full.
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 10-12 minutes. You can tell they are done because if you press on the donut, it will spring back up.
  • Allow to completely cool on a rack before icing.

For the Icing:

  • In a blender, pulverize the cranberries with a couple of drops of water.
  • Add the cream and blend.
  • Pour 1 cup at a time of powdered sugar into the blender and blend. If you want a thinner icing, only use the 1st cup. If you want a thicker icing, use the second cup of powdered sugar.
  • Pour or brush the icing over the donuts. Enjoy!
