 1 1/8 c  Milk; warm
   1/4 c  Sugar
 2 1/4 ts Active dry yeast
     2 lg Eggs; beaten
    10 tb Unsalted butter; melted
     4 c  All-purpose flour
   1/4 ts Salt

MMMMM----------------CHOCOLATE IRISH CREAM FILLIN---------------------
     2 c  Heavy whipping cream; cold
     3 tb Powdered sugar
     2 tb Dutch cocoa powder
     2 tb Irish Cream liqueur
     6 oz Semi sweet chocolate chips

MMMMM---------------------CHOCOLATE GANACHE--------------------------
     1 c  Heavy cream
     9 oz Bittersweet chocolate;

 Doughnuts:

 Make sure the milk is warm, but not overly hot (115°F/46°C). Add
 the sugar to milk, stir to dissolve and add the yeast. Stir gently,
 then let sit for 10 minutes.

 Melt the butter in separate bowl, add the beaten eggs to the melted
 butter, stirring constantly to make sure the butters not too hot
 for the eggs. Add the egg/butter mixture to the bowl of an electric
 mixer fitted with the dough hook. With the mixer on medium-low
 speed, pour in the yeast mixture.

 Allow the dough hook to stir this mixture for 2 minutes, making
 sure it's thoroughly combined. With the mixer still going, add the
 salt and flour in 1/2 cup increments until all the flour is gone.
 Stop the mixer, scrape the bowl, then turn the mixer on the same
 speed for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, stop the mixer and scrape the
 bottom of the bowl. Allow the dough to sit in the bowl undisturbed
 for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, transfer the dough to a lightly
 oiled bowl. Toss the dough to coat, then cover the bowl with
 plastic wrap and place straight in the fridge. Refrigerate dough
 for at least 8 hours, or overnight.

 Remove bowl from fridge and turn out dough onto a lightly floured
 surface. Roll out to 1/4 to 1/3" thickness. Using a 3" cutter, cut
 as many rounds as you can, then roll out remaining dough and cut as
 much as you can. Place the doughnuts on a floured baking sheet.
 Cover with large towel and place in a warm place in your kitchen.
 Allow doughnuts to rise for 1 hour. Mine were good to go after
 50 minutes. Doughnuts should be puffy and airy.

 While the doughnuts rise make the filling and ganache.

 Filling:

 Place the heavy whipping cream in a stand mixer bowl with a whisk
 attachment, beat heavy whipping cream on medium high setting. When
 whipping cream starts to set, slowly add in the powdered sugar,
 cocoa powder, and Irish Cream. Beat on high until stiff peaks form,
 about 1-1/2 minutes on medium-high setting. Melt the chocolate
 chips in a microwave safe bowl until melted. I do this on 30 second
 intervals stirring in between each. Remove about one cup of the
 chocolate cream and whisk with the melted chocolate until there are
 no clumps and the mixture is silky and smooth, just keep whisking,
 it took me about 3 to 5 minutes, but I was using a fork. Add the
 mixture to the chocolate cream or gently fold into the cream until
 there are no streaks, being careful not to deflate the peaks.
 Refrigerate until needed.

 Ganache:

 Combine the heavy cream and bittersweet chocolate in a medium
 saucepan or a microwaveable bowl. Heat on medium low until chips
 are melted and can be stirred smooth. If using the microwave, heat
 at 30 second intervals until completely melted and mixture can be
 stirred smooth. Add butter in and stir until melted. Add Irish
 cream liqueur.

 Once the doughnuts have risen, heat plenty of canola oil in a large
 pot until the temperature reaches 375°F/190°C. Working with 1 or 2
 at a time, gently grab doughnuts and ease them into the hot oil.
 Allow them to cook 1 minute on each side. Being careful because
 they will brown very quickly. Remove doughnuts from the oil with a
 slotted spoon, allowing all oil to drip off. Place doughnut on
 several layers of paper towels. Repeat with remaining doughnuts.
 Allow doughnuts to cool, about 25 minutes before filling.

 Using a pastry bag or simply a ziplock bag (or even a spoon), poke
 a hole inside the side of the doughnut and fill it with a bit of
 the pastry cream. Dip the donut in the ganache and allow to set
 about 5 minutes. Then stuff your face!
