Modeled after an original creation from a famous bakery in Las Vegas, this viral doughnut is an absolute treat for the senses; crispy burnt sugar, creamy and light vanilla custard, and a pillowy dough to balance it all out. Just wait until you crunch through that first bite. That, my friends, is what satisfaction sounds like.
Prepare the base doughnut dough.
Heat cream, soy or oat milk, vanilla, and cinnamon until steaming, but not yet boiling. Remove from heat.
Whisk egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a bowl until it forms a light and smooth mixture. Slowly drizzle ⅓ of the milk mixture into the egg bowl, whisking continuously to keep the eggs from cooking. Pour the egg mixture back into the pot over medium heat, stirring constantly until a thick custard forms. This will take about 10 minutes, but once it starts thickening, it goes fast.
Remove the custard from the heat and add margarine. Mix until the margarine is fully melted and incorporated. Add the lemon juice and mix.
