Method

Make the yeast doughnut dough and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, place the chocolate in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, warm the cream until barely simmering. Pour over the chocolate and let stand until melted, 5-7 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and whisk until the chocolate is melted. Refrigerate unti
