How to Make Chocolate and Vanilla Cream Swirl Cronuts

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warmed milk and let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Add the melted butter and egg to the milk mixture and whisk until combined.
  2. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  3. Make the Cream Fillings: In separate bowls, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Divide the whipped cream in half. In one half, gently fold in the melted chocolate chips until well combined for the chocolate cream.
  4. Roll Out the Dough: Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a floured surface and roll it into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
  5. Create the Swirl: Spread the vanilla cream evenly over the dough, then dollop the chocolate cream in small amounts across the top. Use a knife to swirl the creams together gently.
  6. Shape the Cronuts: Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into 1-inch thick pieces and place them cut side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let them rise for about 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat the Oil: While the cronuts are rising, heat oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Fry the Cronuts: Carefully place a few cronuts in the hot oil at a time, frying for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.
  9. Make the Chocolate Glaze: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips, butter, and corn syrup together until smooth. Stir until well combined.
  10. Glaze the Cronuts: Once the cronuts are cool, dip the tops into the chocolate glaze, letting the excess drip off. Allow the glaze to set before serving.
  11. Serve and Enjoy: Your Chocolate and Vanilla Cream Swirl Cronuts are ready to be enjoyed!

Tips

  • Chill the Dough: For easier handling, you can chill the dough for 15-20 minutes before rolling.
  • Test Oil Temperature: Before frying all the cronuts, test the oil temperature with a small piece of dough to ensure it sizzles and rises.

Substitutions and Variations

  • Different Fillings: Feel free to experiment with different flavored creams, like strawberry or raspberry.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Use a gluten-free flour blend to make these cronuts gluten-free.

Make a Healthier Version

  • Use a lighter cream or yogurt in place of heavy cream for the fillings.
