Ingredients

  • 6 whole store-bought donuts
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the 6 donuts on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. This catches any drips while you glaze.

  2. 2

    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the 1 cup chocolate chips and 0.5 cup heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy, about 1-2 minutes total.

  3. 3

    Dip the top of each donut into the warm chocolate glaze, letting the excess drip off. The glaze should coat the top evenly.

  4. 4

    Immediately sprinkle the 0.25 cup rainbow sprinkles over the glazed donuts before the chocolate sets. Let them sit until the glaze is firm, about 10 minutes.
