- Total Time: 21 minutes
- Diet: Vegetarian
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated flaky layers biscuits (8 count)
- Coconut oil or butter-flavored cooking spray
- 1.5 cups white chocolate melting wafers or vanilla frosting
- Yellow gel food coloring
- Orange gel food coloring
- Optional: Candy corn pieces for garnish
- Optional: Festive sprinkles
Instructions
- Open the can of biscuits and lay each one flat on a clean surface. Use a small circular cutter (about 1 inch in diameter) or the base of a large piping tip to punch a hole out of the center of each biscuit. Save the centers to make donut holes later!
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the donuts in the basket in a single layer, making sure they do not touch. You may need to work in batches. Spray the tops of the donuts lightly with cooking spray. Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they are puffed up and golden brown.
- Carefully remove the donuts from the air fryer and place them on a wire cooling rack. It is important to let them cool for at least 5 to 10 minutes before decorating, otherwise, the glaze will slide right off.
- Melt the white chocolate wafers in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth. Divide the melted chocolate into three separate small bowls. Leave one bowl white. Add a drop of orange gel coloring to the second bowl and yellow gel coloring to the third bowl. Stir well until the colors are vibrant and even.
- To get the candy corn effect, you will dip the donut in sections. Start by dipping the outer third of the donut into the yellow glaze. Let it set for a minute, then dip the middle section into the orange glaze. Finally, dip the innermost ring or the top part into the white glaze. Alternatively, you can dip the whole top in white and use a spoon to drizzle the yellow and orange stripes.
- While the glaze is still slightly wet, press a few pieces of actual candy corn into the top or add some festive sprinkles. Let the donuts sit until the chocolate has fully hardened before serving.
