00:00Lemon cheesecake creme brulee donuts.
00:03Get ready for the best bite of your life.
00:05But trust me, we're not making any donuts from scratch
00:07thanks to the humble Hawaiian roll.
00:10I'm gonna start just by separating my rolls.
00:12Brush these with a little melted butter.
00:14These just go into the oven 350 degrees for five minutes.
00:17Doesn't even take that long
00:18to make the filling for the donuts.
00:20To the cheesecake filling,
00:21go in with store-bought lemon curd
00:23and a little fresh lemon zest.
00:25Stir this together and then put it into a piping bag
00:28or a Ziploc bag.
00:30Take your toasted donut.
00:32Just make a little incision in there, pipe it in.
00:35When you eat creme brulee, what makes it so special
00:37is that kind of crunchy caramelized sugar on top.
00:40We're gonna make our own kind of candied topping.
00:42All you need is sugar and water.
00:43So just bring this to a simmer.
00:45You wanna stir it occasionally and let it cook
00:47until it's light brown color, about 10 minutes.
00:49Now let me tell you, this is hot as you know what.
00:53So you have to do this very carefully.
00:55Take your filled donuts and just coat the top
00:58very lightly, let the excess drip off,
01:01and then place it on a wire rack.
01:03Listen, you can charge good money for these.
01:05Now you just gotta let it sit and let that sugar harden.
01:08I'm gonna add on a little more lemon zest
01:09just to let people know what's in it.
01:13It's like glass.
01:17Mmm.
01:19That slight crunch and the lemon zest
01:21break through the richness of what's inside.
01:24If you like a filled donut, you're gonna love this treat so much.
