Samoas had been all the time my favourite Woman Scout cookies rising up, what’s to not love a couple of vanilla cookie with chewy caramel, coconut and chocolate?! So now I like making desserts with that very same taste profile. I’ve made muffins, cupcakes, reproduction cookies, granola, vitality balls. This time I made a decision to make Vegan Samoa Doughnuts! I’ve been shopping for a whole lot of vegan doughnuts these days so I believed why not make a few of my very own. These turned out so scrumptious I made a decision to share them with you all!
I like having a doughnut pan, so I could make completely different flavors of doughnuts at house! Plus it’s a bit more healthy than shopping for fried doughnuts. For these I made vanilla cake doughnuts, for the reason that samoas have a vanilla cookie, and so they smelled so scrumptious whereas baking I knew these had been going to be good! I wanted a caramel to prime them off with and I made a decision on making a easy coconut milk brown sugar caramel that all the time seems effectively and is ideal for topping issues like these with because it thickens loads when it cools. I then stirred finely shredded coconut into it to create the samoa topping. You wish to use unsweetened dried shredded coconut for these.
I dipped the doughnuts into the coconut caramel, let it set, then I drizzled them with vegan darkish chocolate. As soon as the chocolate had set as effectively I couldn’t wait to attempt them! These turned out so scrumptious with a candy vanilla cake portion for the doughnut, gooey coconut caramel and wealthy darkish chocolate! They’d all the flavors of a samoa cookie! In case you are a fan of Samoa Woman Scout Cookies, undoubtedly give these Vegan Samoa Doughnuts a attempt!
