What is Cream Filled Beignets

Strips of yeast dough fried in oil and served with a mascarpone and white chocolate cream.

How to make Cream Filled Beignets

Tips from the cook

  • Let the strips puff up before frying, so the beignets are light.
  • Fry on moderate heat and turn them with a fork, so they brown evenly without burning.
  • Roll them in the sugar while still warm, so it clings.
  • Let the melted white chocolate cool before beating it into the mascarpone.
  • Fill just before serving, and eat the same day.
