Easy Lemon Jelly Donuts

These lemon filled jelly donuts are perfect for any day of the year, but you can make them extra special for Easter by decorating them to look like an Easter egg!

Lemon Jelly Donuts

I am such a sucker for donuts and so is my daughter. She wants donuts almost every weekend and a lot of times it’s her Friday reward for doing good on her spelling test. She loves the classic donut with a colored sugar glaze and sprinkles. No chocolate, no candies, just an easy doughnut. I, on the other hand, want a Boston Creme or an apple fritter or a chocolate glazed doughnut. YUM! To celebrate a basic Sunday, I made up some super easy biscuit donuts shaped like Easter Eggs, filled them with yummy Lucky Leaf Lemon Pie Filling and let my daughter decorate them.

We had so much fun making (and eating) these Easy Lemon Jelly Donuts – and you will too! 🙂

First things, first. You don’t need to shape them into eggs, but they are more fun.

Second, you don’t need to add the meringue powder, but it does help to make the icing hold it’s shape and dry better if you aren’t going to be eating them right away.

Third, you don’t need to eat them right away, but they totally taste better!

Have fun decorating. There’s no wrong way to decorate an Easter Egg, so have at it! We made polka-dots, stripes, swirls, zig zags, and chevrons. Let you imagination run wild and have a good laugh with your kids.

If you’re off for Spring Break with the kids, why not take the time and enjoy some edible art with them? These are also fun for a group of kids – so make a lot of glaze and have a Spring break playdate with the neighborhood kids. They’ll love it!

These lemon jelly donuts can be enjoyed any time of year. Make them all year round and fill them with your favorite premade pie filling. They are all so yummy!
