Chanukah is here! That means so are Chanukah parties. Now we could make our parties like all the others, but I always like to make sure that my parties give an added flavor of the festival that we are celebrating. So… along with Chanukah comes the idea of eating oily foods, without feeling guilty. So I have the perfect recipe for you to make sure that your Chanukah party (even if it’s just you and your hubby) will be a big hit.
To get the fun flowing and make sure everyone is relaxed, I like to offer a little bit of liquid incentive, and to make it special for Chanukah, here’s how to make some Boozy Donuts made with Heering Liqueur!
What you need:
6 sugar-covered donuts
1/2 cup of sugar
3 oz either coffee or cherry Heering Liqueur
Heat the donuts in the oven at 250 degrees for 5 minutes.
On a plate ad the sugar, brush the top of the warm donuts with water and drip in the sugar.
Insert and fill the liqueur in multiple spots of the bottom of the donuts with a small turkey baster/or cake decorating tool about 1/2 oz per donut
With a creme brulee torch, burn the sugar top of the donuts to a hard sugar topping. If you dont have a creme brulee torch, you can simply put in the oven on broil for a few minutes till the sugar caramelizes.
Serve right away while warm, a good tip is to let the guests watch while you are putting the finishing touches, their mouths will be watering and you will look like a pro in the kitchen!
Just to make it easier for you, here are all the places in the New York Metro area that that carry the mini bottles of Cherry Heering and Coffee Heering Liqueur. Sorry but there aren’t any online retailers available.
Don’t forget to send me pictures so I can see how your donuts turn out and the rest of MetroImma can too!
