How to Make Mango Cream-Filled Donuts
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
Add the warm milk, egg, butter, and vanilla extract.
Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead for about 8–10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Step 2: Shape the Donuts
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out to about 1 cm thickness.
Cut out donut rounds using a donut cutter or round cookie cutter.
Place the dough rounds on a lined tray and let them rise again for 30 minutes.
Step 3: Fry the Donuts
Heat oil to 170–175°C.
Fry the donuts in batches for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
Transfer them to a wire rack or paper towel to cool completely.
Step 4: Prepare the Mango Cream
Whip the chilled cream until soft peaks form.
In another bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and fresh Malda Mango purée until smooth.
Fold the whipped cream gently into the mango mixture to create a light and fluffy filling.
Transfer the filling to a piping bag fitted with a filling nozzle.
Step 5: Fill the Donuts
Make a small hole in the side of each cooled donut.
Pipe the mango cream filling generously into the center of each donut.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Dust the filled donuts with powdered sugar.
Decorate with fresh mango cubes, chopped pistachios, a drizzle of white chocolate, and mint leaves if desired.
Serve fresh.

Why Malda Mangoes Are Perfect for This Recipe
Malda Mangoes are naturally sweet, juicy, and have a smooth, low-fibre texture that creates a silky cream filling without any stringy fibres. Their rich tropical flavor blends beautifully with whipped cream and mascarpone, resulting in a naturally sweet filling with vibrant color and aroma.
Using naturally ripened Malda Mangoes enhances the flavor while reducing the need for excessive sugar.
Storage Tips
- Store filled donuts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- For the best texture, bring them to room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving.
- Store unfilled donuts separately at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Avoid freezing filled donuts, as the cream filling may separate after thawing.
