Grillswith (Donut Happiness) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup water, or as needed
1 quart vegetable oil for deep-frying
4 large refrigerated biscuits
1/2 cup cinnamon sugar
4 scoops vanilla ice cream

Preparation

Place the cocoa powder and chocolate chips into a medium bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until simmering hot. Pour over the chocolate chips and let stand for a minute, then add vanilla and stir until smooth. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, stir together the confectioners' sugar and salt. Mix in vanilla and enough water to achieve a thin icing. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a heavy skillet or electric skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Use a small biscuit cutter or knife to cut circles in the centers of the biscuits. Fry the donuts in the hot oil until browned on each side, about 4 minutes total. Drain quickly on paper towels, then transfer to a rack. Pour some of the vanilla glaze over the tops of the donuts, let it set up for about a minute, then turn them over and glaze the other side. Sprinkle the donuts with cinnamon sugar while the glaze is still wet.
To serve the Grillswith, place one donut in the center of a plate. Top with a scoop of ice cream. Drizzle with hot chocolate sauce.
