A Few Tips

While you could make your vanilla pudding from a packet I will always recommend making it from scratch. It’s just too easy and tastes so much better every time. I added a couple teaspoons of spiced rum to flavor mine but you can substitute for a bit more vanilla if you’d like. Doughnut holes are not hollow like choux so you’ll need to make some room in the middle either with your piping tip or a little knife. It’s really easy and SO GOOD when you bite into a cream-filled sugar puff. If you want to make the more traditional for of this recipe try making the choux puffs! They’re deceptively easy and DELICIOUS! For the Full holiday effect I added mini LED lights to the cone before the donut holes went on. Love the effect. Click here to buy a set!
