- 1 cup cream cheese frosting
- ¼ cup red sprinkles
- ¼ cup green sprinkles
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for warming the donut wreath.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Arrange Donut Holes: Place the 12 donut holes on the parchment paper in a circular wreath shape, ensuring they are touching to form a ring.
- Apply Frosting: Generously spread cream cheese frosting over the top of each donut hole to add sweetness and help toppings adhere.
- Add Sprinkles: Sprinkle red and green sprinkles evenly over the frosted donut holes to create a festive holiday look.
- Bake and Garnish: Bake the wreath in the oven for 10-15 minutes until the donut holes are warmed through and the frosting is slightly set. Remove and allow to cool slightly before garnishing with fresh mint leaves for a final festive touch.
Notes
- Use assorted flavored donut holes for a more interesting taste and appearance.
- Be careful not to overbake; the wreath should be warm, not toasted.
- The fresh mint leaves add a nice contrast and can be replaced with holly or other edible greenery for decoration.
- This wreath is best served fresh but can be stored covered at room temperature for up to a day.
- Feel free to substitute cream cheese frosting with your favorite variety or homemade frosting if preferred.
