Ingredients
Donut Wreath
- 12 store-bought donut holes (assorted flavors)
Frosting & Decoration
- 1 cup cream cheese frosting
- ¼ cup red sprinkles
- ¼ cup green sprinkles
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to fully heat while you prepare the donut holes.
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to make cleanup easier.
- Arrange the donut holes: Place the 12 donut holes on the baking sheet in a circular wreath shape, ensuring they are close enough to form a ring.
- Apply frosting: Using a spatula or knife, generously spread cream cheese frosting over the top of each donut hole, covering them completely to allow the sprinkles to stick well.
- Add sprinkles: Sprinkle the red and green sprinkles evenly over the frosted donut holes to create a festive look.
- Bake the wreath: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until the donut holes are warmed through and the frosting slightly softens.
- Cool and garnish: Remove from the oven and allow the wreath to cool slightly. Finally, garnish with fresh mint leaves placed around the wreath to enhance the holiday presentation.
Notes
- Use assorted flavored donut holes for a variety of tastes and visual interest.
- Ensure frosting is spread generously so sprinkles adhere well.
- Fresh mint leaves add a nice aroma and a pop of green color, but can be omitted if unavailable.
- Serve the wreath warm for the best flavor experience.
- Can be prepared ahead by assembling without baking, then baking just before serving.
