The Easiest & Quickest Key Lime Doughnut Recipe

Key lime flavored doughnuts with shortcuts that will have you enjoying this treat lickety split!
Prep Time 10 minutes

Ingredients  

  • Dozen Mini Old Fashioned Doughnuts or Crullers
  • 1/2 C Store Bought Cream Cheese Frosting You can also use vanilla
  • 4 Zest from Key Limes Zest the limes that you are going to use before you juice them
  • 4 Juice from Key Limes Fresh is best, but you can use bottled too
  • 1/4 C Powdered Sugar

Instructions 

  • Mix the key lime juice into the powdered sugar a little bit at a time. Add key lime juice just until the powdered sugar is wet.
  • Dip the bottom of the doughnuts into the key lime glaze. If the doughnuts are not frosted on the tops, give it an extra punch of flavor by dipping the tops too!
  • Place doughnuts on parchment paper. Melt the cream cheese frosting just so it's fluid so you can drizzle it. Drizzle the cream cheese frosting across the doughnuts with a fork or spoon.
  • Sprinkle the key lime zest on top of the doughnuts.
  • I probably don't need to say this, but you should try one!

Notes

You can substitute regular lime for key limes, but the key limes give this recipe a punchier flavor!
