8. Mix icing sugar, salt, vanilla essence and milk into a bowl until a thick consistency is achieved.

9. Dip donuts into the chocolate glaze and shake the excess icing off and place donut onto a cooling rack and add sprinkles.

Tips

· Melt butter and make the coffee first so they can cool down while you measure out the rest of the ingredients for the donut batter.

· Dip about 4 donuts and then decorate so the icing doesn’t dry before you can add the sprinkles.
