Step-by-step

• Start by preparing the biscuit dough for the air fryer.
• Use a biscuit cutter and cut out the middle. You can use these later to make mini donuts.
• Spray your air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray.
• Place your biscuit dough (I needed to do it in 2 batches, as you don't want them crowded).
• Set the temperature to 350 degrees F, for 5 minutes.
• After 5 minutes, remove the biscuits, place on a cutting board and place the second batch in the air fryer basket.
• Meanwhile in a small mixing bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, unsweetened baking cocoa, butter (melted), vanilla and milk. Mix well, until everything is well blended.
• Wait a few minutes, until the donuts are cooled, and then spread the chocolate frosting on the donuts.
• Plate, serve and enjoy!
