What You’ll Need to Prepare the Donut Rainbows

You’ll need the right ingredients and special equipment to prepare these tasty, adorable Donut Rainbows, including:

• Store-Bought Donuts. Cut each donut in half beforehand.
• Fruity Pebbles. Get a box of the Fruity Pebbles cereal to create your rainbows.
• White Frosting. Use the white icing as a coating for your donuts.
• Shredded Coconut. You will add the shredded coconut to the ends of each donut.
• Liquid Measuring Cup. Use a glass liquid measuring cup, which you can buy on Amazon.
• Parchment Paper. Make sure you have plenty of parchment paper that you will use when decorating your donuts.

You’ll also need a cooling rack and small bowls or cupcake liners. Once you have your supplies and ingredients, you can start preparing these Donut Rainbows.

Which type of donuts should I buy at the store?

You can buy your favorite type of donuts at the store, but make sure they’re not frosted. You’ll add the white frosting, coconut, and Fruity Pebbles on these donuts, so you’ll need them to be plain. Chocolate or vanilla donuts are a great choice when you’re making the Donut Rainbows.

Which white frosting do I need to use?

You can buy white frosting from the bakery at your local grocery store or prepare white frosting at home from scratch. If you’re going to make it from scratch, you’ll need to combine powdered sugar with milk and vanilla extract. It’s important to heat the frosting for several seconds before dipping your donuts into it.

Can I use the generic version of Fruity Pebbles?

You can use the generic version of Fruity Pebbles from any of your favorite grocery stores. The cereal tastes the same and provides the same colorful look to these tasty donuts.

What do I do if the coconut is not sticking?

If you’re having a difficult time getting your coconut to stick to the donuts, it’s likely due to the frosting becoming dry. The best way to get the coconut to stick is to add a bit of extra frosting to each end of your donuts and then immediately sprinkle the coconut on top.

How many servings does it make?

The number of servings made will depend on how many donuts you buy at the store. If you buy a dozen donuts, you’ll have 24 Donut Rainbows to offer your guests. If you’re making these decorative donuts for a larger gathering, you’ll need to buy an additional dozen donuts, along with more frosting and coconut.
