Step 1

For the donuts:Add the flour, baking powder, dry yeast, eggs, lemon zest to taste, milk, and sugar to your mixer.

Step 2

While mixing, add the vegetable oil, too. Mix until you have a dough. Let it rise for 35 minutes.

Step 3

For the filling:Add the chocolate chips to a heat-proof bowl. Bring a halfway water-filled medium-sized pot to a boil.

Step 4

Place the chocolate bowl on top and add the coconut oil. Stir using a spatula until it melts, then remove the bowl from heat.

Step 5

Transfer the white chocolate to a heat-proof bowl and place it on the same boiling water pot. Stir until it melts then remove from heat.

Step 6

Add the Nutella to the dark chocolate bowl and mix them.

Step 7

For the donuts:Dust the work surface with flour. Flatten the dough using your hands then the rolling pin.

Step 8

Cut circles from the flattened dough using a 4-5 inch cookie cutter. Cut an even number. We’ve got ten of them.

Step 9

For each of the 5 dough circles add one tablespoon of Nutella-chocolate or white chocolate cream. Cover each chocolate-topped disc with an empty one, then join their edges by pressing.

Step 10

Place the donuts on a parchment paper-lined tray and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 11

Fill a deep-fryer pan halfway with oil and heat it over medium heat. Fry the donuts on both sides until golden brown. Fry them 2 or 3 at a time.

Step 12

Remove and drain them on paper towels. Serve them sprinkled with powdered sugar. Optionally, you can drizzle them with Nutella-chocolate cream and melted white chocolate.
