Active:: 15 min

Yield:: 6 doughnuts

Level:: Easy

Ingredients

4 cups powdered sugar, plus more if needed
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Purple, black, pink and blue gel food coloring, for coloring the icing
6 plain (unfrosted) doughnuts
Silver food-grade edible glitter, for sprinkling

Directions

In a bowl large enough to dip a doughnut into, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, coconut oil and vanilla until smooth and silky. Adjust the powdered sugar until the icing is a thick liquid consistency but not too drippy. Add 2 drops of purple food coloring and mix to tint the base. Add 1 to 2 drops of each color and swirl the surface of the icing several times with a skewer or toothpick.

Dip a doughnut on one side into the icing, letting the icing drip off for a moment before turning it over and placing it icing-side up on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Continue with the remaining doughnuts. As the food coloring drops become muddled, scoop out the top layer of icing and add new color combinations. You will probably get 2 dips out of each swirl. Sprinkle the doughnuts with edible glitter and let dry.
