Step-by-step
- Pre-heat the oven to 160°C (Fan Forced)
- Separate 2 eggs. Set aside the egg yolks. Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks with an egg beater and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the dry ingredients for the Doughnuts, add the cream cheese and work through the dry ingredients.
- Add the wet ingredients (excluding egg whites) and mix together well.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the mixture, continue to fold until all one color.
- Spray the doughnut tins with cooking spray and fill each mold about three quarters of the way up.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until lightly browned (if you are doing 8 doughnuts, bake for approximately 12 minutes).
- Let donuts cool in pan for 5 minutes, and then take them out of their molds and set on a cooling rack.
- To make the Glaze, melt the Butter in a frying pan over medium-low heat, next work in the baking Sweetener. Continue to stir until the sweetener is fully melted.
- Add the Cream and Vanilla, continue to stir until the Butter and Cream are no longer separated and have totally combined.
- Remove glaze from heat, leave in the frying pan but set aside for 30 minutes to thicken, dip the doughnuts in the glaze on each side, place back on the cooling rack and in the fridge for 30 minutes, repeat the glaze again, and place back in the fridge for a further 30 minutes to allow the glaze to harden.
- Try not to eat all the doughnuts at once.
