What Is A Boston Cream Donut?
Now, I am from Boston, and I can tell you that these are all over the city. They are typically filled with custard cream. Today, I took the shortcut, although there is nothing wrong if you want to make a homemade custard cream.
The signature look is a donut baked and then filled with custard cream and then on top is a layer of chocolate frosting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Are The Best Biscuits To Use In This Recipe?
I love using a flaky biscuit. Since you are looking to split the donut, it’s the perfect biscuit. I love using the Pillsbury Grands with the butter since it gives you great flavor. The butter is already in there, which makes your donuts even more light and fluffy.
Pro Tips For The Best Air Fryer Boston Cream Donuts (Doughnuts)
- Space your donuts, you do not want them touching. If you let your donuts touch the place where they are touching will not cook, leaving you with a bit of raw dough.
- Flip your biscuits, if you find that your air fryer is not cooking on both sides, flip the biscuits halfway.
- Want a Vanilla Glaze? Change it up, they are your donuts, make them so you and your family love them.
How To Store Donuts
You will find these donuts are best when served warm and fresh, as they get cooled down, they will get hard.
But, if you do have some leftovers, place them into an airtight container and try to eat in the next day or two.
