Instructions
1

Place a cooling rack on top of a large baking sheet and set aside.
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
|
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
|
Once oil is hot, fry each donut individually for about 1 minute per side, until golden brown.
5
|
Place each fried donut on the cooling rack to allow excess oil to drip off.
6
|
Once all donuts have been fried, turn off the heat for the oil.
7
|
Sift the powdered sugar into a large bowl.
8
|
Whisk in the milk and vanilla extract.
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
|
Dip each donut into the marbled vanilla glaze, then place back on the cooling rack and immediately sprinkle on unicorn sprinkles.
11
|
Allow frosting to set completely before serving or storing.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Color Swirl Magic 🌈To create perfect pastel swirls, divide your glaze into separate bowls and use toothpicks to create intricate color patterns before dipping donuts.
- Biscuit Dough Hack 🍩Use a small round cookie cutter or the rim of a shot glass to create perfectly uniform donut shapes from canned biscuit dough, minimizing waste.
- Sprinkle Pro Technique 🎨For maximum sprinkle adhesion, dip donuts while the glaze is still warm and immediately sprinkle unicorn mix before the surface sets.
- Oil Temperature Control 🌡️Maintain a consistent 350°F oil temperature for even frying - use a digital thermometer to check and adjust heat throughout the cooking process.
- Drainage Perfection 💧Always place freshly fried donuts on a wire rack with paper towels underneath to ensure crispy exterior and prevent soggy bottoms.
