My Unicorn Donuts are whimsical, pastel swirled donuts come together in minutes thanks to store-bought biscuit dough. They’re crispy outside, fluffy inside, and perfect for birthdays, brunches, or just a little everyday magic. These magical unicorn donuts start with canned biscuits and are transformed into fun, colorful treats perfect for birthdays or unicorn parties. Quick, delicious and always a crowd pleaser.

  1. Step 1

    Place a cooling rack on top of a large baking sheet and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Add your frying oil in a dutch oven over medium heat. Use a candy thermometer to ensure you bring the oil to 350F.

  3. Step 3

    Cut out the center of each biscuit and then stretch the biscuit a bit to make the hole and biscuit a little bit wider.

  4. Step 4

    Once oil is hot, fry each donut individually for about 1 minute per side, until golden brown.

  5. Step 5

    Place each fried donut on the cooling rack to allow excess oil to drip off.

  6. Step 6

    Once all donuts have been fried, turn off the heat for the oil.

  7. Step 7

    Sift the powdered sugar into a large bowl.

  8. Step 8

    Whisk in the milk and vanilla extract.

  9. Step 9

    Add one drop of each pink and purple dye to separate areas of the vanilla glaze, then use a knife to swirl the colors together lightly, achieving a marbled effect.

  10. Step 10

    Dip each donut into the marbled vanilla glaze, then place back on the cooling rack and immediately sprinkle on unicorn sprinkles.

  11. Step 11

    Allow frosting to set completely before serving or storing.
