Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease donut pans.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in one bowl.
In another bowl, combine sugar, sour cream, cream, melted butter, egg, and almond extract until smooth. Stir in the chopped freeze-dried strawberries.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Fill donut molds about two-thirds full using a piping bag or spoon.
Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
While the donuts cool, make the glaze by whisking confectioners’ sugar and powdered freeze-dried strawberries with cream until smooth.
Once the donuts are cool, dip them in the glaze and let them set before serving.

Notes

This recipe makes about 8 donuts.
You can substitute almond extract with vanilla extract for a more traditional flavor.
For a chocolate twist, cocoa powder can be added to the glaze.
Mini donut pans or muffin tins can be used, just reduce the baking time slightly.
These donuts can be stored for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
If freezing, freeze in a single layer until the glaze hardens, then store for up to 3 months.
