Ingredients
  

For the Donut Rings:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 large egg

1/2 cup buttermilk

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Raspberry Yogurt Filling:

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/2 cup fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

For the Topping:

1/4 cup white chocolate chips, melted

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Raspberry powder or crushed freeze-dried raspberries (for dusting, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Donut Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry mixture, stirring until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.

      Fill the Donut Pan: Using a spoon or a piping bag, carefully fill each section of the donut pan with the batter, ensuring each is about two-thirds full to allow for rising.

        Bake the Donuts: Place the donut pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. The donuts should be golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

          Make the Raspberry Yogurt Filling: In a medium-sized bowl, use a fork to mash the fresh raspberries until they form a chunky puree. Incorporate the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, mixing until you achieve a smooth consistency. For an ultra-smooth filling, you can blend the mixture in a food processor.

            Assemble the Donut Rings: Once the donuts have completely cooled, use a small knife to carefully create a hole in the center of each donut. Then, fill the center with the raspberry yogurt filling using a piping bag.

              Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips by heating them in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth. Let the melted chocolate cool slightly before drizzling it over each filled donut.

                Garnish the Donuts: Decorate each donut with fresh raspberries and a sprinkle of crushed freeze-dried raspberries or raspberry powder. Add mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness, if desired.

                  Freeze the Donuts: Place the finished and garnished donuts on a baking sheet and freeze them for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set.

                    Serve: Enjoy the Frozen Yogurt Raspberry Donut Rings straight from the freezer for a delightful and refreshing treat!
