Ingredients

1 packet of 6 brioche hot dog rolls
3oo ml thickened cream
¼ cup icing mixture
1 teaspoon vanilla
Raspberry jam (see notes)
Extra icing mixture to dust

Instructions

Whisk the cream, icing mixture and vanilla in a large bowl until stiff peaks form.
Spoon the whipped cream into a large piping bag (40cm) and snip the end about 1 inch from the end (you will want your piping circle to be about 1cm in diameter).
Pour ¼ cup of jam into a small piping bag (30cm) and snip a small amount of the end off.
Brioche buns should be precut. If so, open up the buns and pipe a line of jam at the bottom of each bun, followed by a line of cream and finish off with a line of jam on the top. Dust lightly with icing mixture.

Notes

I purchase my 'Baker's Raspberry Jam' from Spotlight. This jam is the closest jam to the jam they use at the doughnut shops.
If you can't find this jam, you can use your favourite raspberry or strawberry jam
These doughnuts are best served straight away.
