1 1/4 c.
unsweetened coconut milk

1 1/4 oz.
package active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoon)

1/4 c.
granulated sugar

2
large eggs

2 tbsp.
unsalted butter, at room temp, cut into small pieces

1 tsp.
Kosher salt

2 tsp.
lime zest

3 c.
all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface

2 qt.
(64 ounces) canola oil, plus more for greasing

14 oz.
can sweetened condensed milk

1/4 c.
half-and-half


  1. In small bowl, microwave unsweetened coconut milk until 100°F to 110°F (warm to the touch). Stir in yeast and granulated sugar. Set aside until frothy, about 5 minutes. Transfer to large bowl of electric stand mixer. Add eggs; beat gently by hand to combine. Add butter and salt, mixing to combine (don’t worry if some lumps of butter remain).
  2. Add 1 teaspoon lime zest and half of flour, stirring to form dough. Gradually add remaining flour; then, using electric stand mixer fitted with dough hook, knead on lowest setting 5 minutes (dough will be sticky).
  3. Lightly oil large bowl; transfer mixture to bowl. Cover with damp towel and set aside to rise at room temp until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours or overnight in refrigerator (can freeze overnight at this point).
  4. Lightly oil large baking sheet. Lightly flour work surface, turn dough out and lightly dust top with flour; press or roll until 1/2 inch thick. With floured 3 1/2 inch donut cutters, cut out dough and transfer to prepared baking sheet. Gather scraps into ball. Repeat rolling and cutting out rounds. Cover rounds lightly with damp towel; let rise until puffed, 30 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, place cooling rack over another baking sheet. Heat oil in large, deep saucepan to 350°F to 360°F on deep-fry thermometer. Working with 3 to 4 donuts at a time, carefully transfer to hot oil and cook until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Use large slotted spoon to transfer donuts to cooling rack; let cool.
  6. Make glaze: Whisk can sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk, half-and-half, and 1 teaspoon lime zest. Pour glaze overcooled donuts and sprinkle immediately with lime zest.
