Lightly grease some oil in a mixing bowl and add the dough.

When the dough has risen, transfer the dough to a floured counter so the dough will not stick.

Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a thickness of 4-5 mm.

Then, cut out hearts in the dough using a heart-shaped cookie cutter.

Place the heart-shaped dough on a lined baking tray with parchment paper in rows.

Cut the paper for each heart to make it easier to handle while deep frying.

Cover the tray with plastic cling film and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Flip until the dough turns a light golden brown.

When done, strain to remove them and let them cool on a paper towel.

The paper towel will soak up the excess unwanted oil.

Add 100g of icing or powdered sugar and12tsp of vanilla in a mixing bowl to make the icing.

Then, add 112 tbspof milk and whisk until well combined.

Pour the icing into two different portions.

Add food coloring as desired.

Using a spatula or a butter knife, coat the doughnuts in icing and add some sprinkles.
