Cinnamon Pineapple Doughnut Glaze

a homemade doughnut glaze

Doughnuts are a fun and easy breakfast or dessert dish and now you can turn them into a gourmet food with a fresh cinnamon and pineapple glaze. This fruity glaze is a delicious twist on the traditional glazed doughnut you are used to. Glazing doughnuts can be made fun with this recipe and with my Red Wine Raspberry Doughnut Glaze.  So go to your local Dunkin Doughnut’s or where ever your favorite bakery is and pick up some doughnut holes so you can get started on this wonderful pineapple glaze.

cooking information

• Yield: Dessert for 15
• Prep Time: 5-10 minutes
• Cooking Time: 20 minutes

all ingredients

• 1 Box of Plain Original Glazed Doughnut Holes
• 2 Cans of Crushed Pineapple in Pineapple Juice
• 1 Tb of Cinnamon
• 1 Tb of Vanilla
• 3 Cups Powdered Sugar

recipe instruction

1. In a small sauce pot combine your crushed pineapple (plus the juice), cinnamon, and vanilla. Turn to medium high heat and bring to a boil.

2. Once the concoction has come to a boil and you can smell the cinnamon, take off of the heat and whisk in your powdered sugar. (if the powdered sugar is lumpy return to medium low heat and stir the lumps out.) Let cool and set aside.

3. Line the doughnut holes in a single layer on a cookie sheet and a few hours before service top the doughnuts with the glaze and let rest in the refrigerator until service.

4. Remove from the cookie sheet and excess glaze and serve.

cooking tips

• The glaze can be a day before hand and cover the doughnuts before service.
• The doughnuts are great served with hot chocolate or a cup of coffee.
• You could substitute any crushed or small diced fruit but make sure it is in it’s own juices versus any heavy syrup.
