Instructions
- In a large bowl, stir the marshmallow creme with the vanilla and salt until loosened.
- Whip the cream to stiff peaks, then fold it into the marshmallow creme in two additions.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Spoon the filling into a piping bag fitted with a long filling tip. Poke a small hole in the side of each cooled doughnut and pipe in about 2 tablespoons, until the doughnut feels heavy.
Tips
- Vanilla swap: use vanilla bean paste 1:1 in place of the extract for visible specks, or the seeds of 1 vanilla bean for each tablespoon of extract.
- Best vanilla for this: Madagascar (rich, creamy, classic), or Mexican (spiced, warm, woodsy). Any pure vanilla works.
- Storage: Refrigerate the filling, covered, for up to 3 days. Serve filled doughnuts the same day and keep them chilled.
