Using high-quality raspberry jam or seedless raspberry preserves is crucial to achieve the authentic sweet and tangy flavor found in the Glazed Raspberry Filled doughnuts. Make sure the yeast is fresh and active to ensure the dough rises properly, creating the light and airy texture characteristic of Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Whole milk and unsalted butter contribute to the rich, tender crumb, so avoid substitutions that might alter the dough's softness. When glazing, mix powdered sugar with water and vanilla extract to create a shiny, smooth coating that perfectly complements the fruity filling. Your copycat menu's success depends on balancing these ingredients to capture the iconic taste and texture of Krispy Kreme's Glazed Raspberry Filled doughnuts.
Instructions
- Warm the milk and butter together until the butter is melted; let cool to lukewarm.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt; mix.
- Add the milk-butter mixture and eggs to the dry ingredients; mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough (using mixer or hands) until smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a proofing cabinet until doubled, 1-1.5 hours.
- Roll out the dough (using dough sheeter/roller) to about 1/2 inch thickness.
- Cut out rounds using a doughnut cutter (no hole).
- Place cut doughnuts on a parchment-lined tray; let rise until puffy, 30-60 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil in the deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the doughnuts in batches, turning once, until golden brown (1-2 minutes per side).
- Remove with basket or slotted spoon; drain on cooling rack.
- Cool doughnuts slightly.
- Fill a piping bag with raspberry jam; poke and pipe jam into the center of each doughnut.
- Mix powdered sugar, water, and vanilla extract in a large bowl to make glaze.

- Place on cooling rack to set glaze.
- Serve.
Substitution
The Glazed Raspberry Filled from Krispy Kreme copycat recipe uses a yeast-raised doughnut base with a rich raspberry filling and classic sugary glaze. You can substitute seedless raspberry preserves with any smooth fruit jam or jelly to accommodate taste preferences or availability. If a dough sheeter is unavailable, rolling the dough by hand on a floured surface is an effective alternative to achieve proper thickness. When piping the filling, ensure your nozzle size matches the doughnut cavity to prevent overfilling and leakage during frying. Use a deep-frying thermometer to maintain oil temperature around 350degF for optimal texture and even cooking.
Tips
Make sure the milk and butter mixture cools to lukewarm before adding to the dry ingredients to activate the yeast properly without killing it. When kneading, achieve a smooth and elastic dough texture, which is crucial for a light and airy doughnut. Maintain the frying oil temperature consistently at 350degF (175degC) to ensure even cooking and avoid greasy doughnuts. You should fill the doughnuts with raspberry jam using a piping bag with a filling nozzle to avoid tearing the soft dough and ensure an even distribution of the filling.
Nutritions
Glazed Raspberry Filled doughnuts from Krispy Kreme offer a rich source of carbohydrates from all-purpose flour and sugar, providing quick energy. The raspberry jam filling adds a small amount of fruit-derived vitamins and antioxidants, though the overall nutritional profile is high in sugars and fats due to frying in vegetable oil and the sugary glaze. Whole milk and eggs contribute protein and essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D, but the doughnut should be enjoyed in moderation due to its calorie density. Your indulgence in this treat delivers a satisfying balance of sweet flavors and melt-in-your-mouth texture, ideal for an occasional dessert.
Storage
Store your glazed raspberry-filled doughnuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain their softness and freshness. For longer storage, refrigerate them, but bring to room temperature before enjoying to restore their melt-in-your-mouth texture. Avoid freezing, as it may alter the delicate glaze and raspberry filling consistency.
Variation or Alternatives
Your Glazed Raspberry Filled doughnuts can be enhanced by substituting raspberry jam with fresh raspberry compote for a more natural and vibrant flavor. Using a cream cheese filling with a touch of lemon zest offers a tangy contrast that pairs well with the sweet glaze. You might also consider baking instead of frying the doughnuts to reduce oil content while maintaining softness by lightly brushing them with melted butter before glazing. Experimenting with adding cornstarch to the glaze will yield a thicker coating that clings better to the doughnuts.
Allergies
The Glazed Raspberry Filled doughnut contains common allergens such as wheat (all-purpose flour), eggs, and dairy (whole milk, unsalted butter). Individuals with allergies to these ingredients should avoid consuming this treat to prevent adverse reactions. You should always check ingredient labels carefully if you have food allergies or sensitivities.
