You guys. I have no words. I used Krispy Kreme original glazed and they were soft and delicious. The magic happens when you plop those babies on the grill. The heat caramelizes the sugar, turning it into a sweet crispy, crackly, dream. Imagine the top of creme brulee and that’s what we have here. It’s pretty much amazing and you need to make it. Pin it. Share it with the world. Start by prepping your berries because they’ll need a little time to macerate. Just toss them with a little sugar and set them aside.
Next, slice some glazed doughnuts in half horizontally. You just want regular, glazed doughnuts, like Krispy Kreme Original Glazed.
You want a hot grill, but not so hot that it burns the sugar. Keep an eye on that. A nice, clean (because you don’t want your berry shortcake to taste like BBQ chicken) medium-hot grill. (I’m using my Camp Chef Grill Kate wrote about the other day!) Pop those babies on there and keep an eye on them. At the optimal temperature they should take a minute or two, but they could be done much quicker. They should be dark golden brown. Take them off the grill and set them sugar side up for a minute to cool just a bit so you don’t scorch your mouth.
When you’re ready, spoon your berries over one half of the doughnut, top with whipped cream,
and then place the top half on. See how the sugar caramelized? I’m having a hard time expressing my emotions here without emojis.
