Coquito Donut Holes (Creamy Puerto Rican Coconut Rum Drink)
Coquito Donut Holes is a quick + easy donut hole recipe made using refrigerated biscuit dough and homemade coquito. Once you cut and fry the dough, just toss the donut holes in cinnamon sugar and add a pipette of coquito to each one. This special treat is perfect for crowds and is a family favorite during the holidays!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coquito ((save the rest in the fridge!))
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough ((I recommend Pillsbury Grands Southern Homestyle Original Biscuits 8 Count - not the flaky kind))
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- 1
Make the coquito first and place it in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
- 2
While you wait for the coquito to chill, make the donut holes. Heat enough oil to cover the dough balls, in a deep skillet, until it is 350ºF.
- 3
Cut biscuits into quarters, and then fry them in small batches, for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess oil.
- 4
Once they are all done, place the cinnamon sugar mixture in a bowl and toss the donut holes in the mixture. Set aside.
- 5
Remove the very cold coquito from the fridge. Squeeze the coquito into a pipette and pierce it into the donut hole. Repeat with the rest. Enjoy!
