Ingredients

16 ⅓ ounces - Biscuits Dough
1 ½ cups - Powdered Sugar
2 tablespoons - Milk
1 tsp - Vanilla Extract
Pink and Purple Food Coloring
¼ cup - Unicorn Sprinkles

Instructions

Place a cooling rack on top of a large baking sheet and set aside.
Add your frying oil in a dutch oven over medium heat. Use a candy thermometer to ensure you bring the oil to 350F.
Cut out the center of each biscuit and then stretch the biscuit a bit to make the hole and biscuit a little bit wider.
Once oil is hot, fry each donut individually for about 1 minute per side, until golden brown.
Place each fried donut on the cooling rack to allow excess oil to drip off.
Once all donuts have been fried, turn off the heat for the oil.
Sift the powdered sugar into a large bowl.
Whisk in the milk and vanilla extract.
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.
Dip each donut into the marbled vanilla glaze, then place back on the cooling rack and immediately sprinkle on unicorn sprinkles.
Allow frosting to set completely before serving or storing.
