Instructions

1-First, gather all ingredients and measure precisely; prepare the cockroach powder and sift flour with baking powder to ensure even mixing.

2-In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients then add almond milk to create a smooth batter, which forms the base for your spooky shapes.

3-Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 180°C (350°F) and keep the temperature steady for the best results in achieving that crispy texture.

4-Next, shape the batter into cockroach forms, including antennae and legs from thin strips of dough as noted in the summary.

5-Carefully place the shaped dough into the hot oil and fry each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, creating a contrast between the crunchy exterior and the soft inside.

6-Remove the fried donuts and let them drain on paper towels, then fill with vanilla bean Boston cream for a creamy surprise.

7-Finally, coat them with caramel to build a chewy shell and apply chocolate glaze to enhance the cockroach look, making this ideal for Halloween parties.
