Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 pound strawberries
- 1 to 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 plain glazed doughnuts, slightly stale
- fresh mint, optional
Instruction
- Wash, hull, and slice the strawberries (reserving a few cute ones, to serve, if you like). Place them into a large mixing bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of the sugar and the vanilla. Taste and add the remaining sugar, if desired.
- Whip the cream to medium peaks in whatever way you prefer: I'm a big fan of the "shake it in a jar" method.
- When you're ready to serve, preheat a grill or grill pan (make sure you have an exhaust if you're inside, as this gets smoky!). Place the doughnuts onto the grill, and cook until dark and caramelized: It shouldn't take too long, a minute or so on each side.
- Set the doughnuts aside to cool for a moment. The sugar coating will turn crisp, like toffee. Slice them in half like a bagel, and fill each with a quarter of the strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream.
- Top with a whole strawberry or a sprig of mint, if you like, and then serve!
