Copycat Dunkin Donut Choc Pudding Donut 浓情巧克力甜甜圈

I was a fan of Dunkin Donut, my favorite was a type of filled donut called choc pudding. The donut was coated with icing sugar and filled with overflowing chocolate. Once biten down, chocolate oozes out from the inside. I always ended up messy but I didn't care. It was almost like a chocolate lava cake disguising itself as a donut, so much chocolate and ultimately satisfying. I was always amazed at how much chocolate that get stuffed inside. However, not anymore during these recent years! They had probably changed their recipe, now I need to finish half of the donut to find the chocolate inside. So what to do when the craving strikes? Make it yourself!

The addition of potato in the bun makes it incredibly soft, just take a look at the texture of the donut, how fluffy it is! All right, forget the bun, I know your eyes are all set on the chocolate lava.

There can be many other variations too!

Have fun decorating your donut, and enjoy!
