Mini Cheat's Korean Strawberry Milk Doughnuts Recipe

This mini cheat's Korean strawberry milk doughnuts recipe is perfect for if you're feeling lazy and can't handle a full-sized milk doughnut (which are HUGE), but still want a little treat.

Korean milk doughnuts went viral around 2021, although they've been around for a lot longer than that. The classic Korean milk doughnut is a round, plain doughnut that's been sliced in half but not fully through, drizzled on the inside with sweet condensed milk and sandwiched with a near-appalling amount of whipped cream.

There are now a few places that do them in London, but they tend to be ostentatiously big – more for Instagram and TikTok than for actual enjoyment. And as much as I love my desserts, it just tips it over the 'too much' edge for me.

But I still wanted to taste what Korean milk doughnuts are like. So I decided to make a simple version at home using pre-made doughnuts. And I also decided to make a fruity twist by using jam doughnuts.

You can also watch me make these on my YouTube channel, Tashcakes:

Ready? Let's go.

Ingredients:

4 small jam doughnuts
300ml whipping cream (there'll be leftovers, but it's easier to do with an excess of cream)
12 fresh (small) strawberry slices

Method:

1. Slice the strawberry doughnuts lengthways almost in half, but not all the way through.

2. Whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks.

3. Hold a doughnut wide open and fill it with as much cream as physically possible. Use a palette knife or the back of a knife to smooth down the cream. Repeat with all the doughnuts.

4. Stick three strawberry slices onto the cream side of each doughnut and serve.

Enjoy, and have fun.
