Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350* Use fresh or frozen strawberries and smash into puree. If you are using frozen strawberries, thaw for a minute or 2 in the microwave. Drain the liquid and smash with a fork. Melt the ice cream in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Combine the oil, eggs, ice cream and strawberries in mixing bowl, add cake mix and beat for 1 minute on low and 2 minutes on medium. Spoon in about 1 tsp. batter into a mini donut pan. (I found it worked better to fill a frosting bag and use a large frosting tip to pipe the batter in) Bake for 8-10 minutes. Cool in pan about 4 minutes! This is key...just trust me on this! Remove from pan and cool completely. Remove the lid and foil from frosting. Heat in microwave for 1 minute...stirring every 30 seconds. Pour into a bowl and dip your donuts. Place on a wax paper lined tray and sprinkle with your fav color of the day! See the pocket of frosting that puddles up in the center. Delish!!!! After your frosting has set, you can slide a lollipop stick through the center and tie on a bow but that isn't necessary!!!
