Ingredients

For the Donuts:

1 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1/4 cup greek yogurt

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

3 quarts vegetable oil for frying

 

For the Vanilla Glaze:

2 cups confectioners sugar

6 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For the Chocolate glaze:

1 3/4 cups confectioners sugar

1/4 cup cocoa powder

2 cups shredded coconut, lightly toasted

Directions

Sift flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt into large bowl; set aside. In medium bowl, whisk eggs, yogurt, and butter. Stir egg mixture into flour mixture along with chopped chocolate until completely combined. Chill in refrigerator until firm, about 1 hour. On floured work surface, roll out dough to 1/2-inch thick. Stamp out donut holes with well floured 1 1/4-inch round cutter and place on lightly floured plate or pan. Re-roll scraps as necessary. Refrigerate dough pieces while heating oil. In large 6 to 8 quart heavy duty pot, heat oil over medium heat to 375 degrees F. Remove dough pieces from fridge and using slotted spoon, carefully drop 1/2 of the donut holes into oil. Fry donuts for about 2 minutes, gently stirring and flipping donuts to make sure they fry evenly and adjusting heat as necessary to keep temperature at 375 degrees F. Using slotted spoon, remove donuts and place on paper towel lined plate. Repeat with second batch. Let donuts cool. Prepare choice of glaze by whisking together glaze ingredients. Dip donuts and place on wire rack that's been set over baking sheet. If desired, roll in coconut about 10 minutes after dipping in glaze. Let glaze completely dry, about 30 minutes.
