What are Beignets?
You don’t have to travel all the way to New Orleans to treat yourself to Beignets! You can make them at home, and I’ve even made a yeast-free version to make it even easier and faster to enjoy. Just picture yourself in New Orleans, sitting at Cafe du Monde eating beignets and drinking a Latte…a girl can dream right?
So what are Beignets? Essentially they are a doughnut but almost taste like a cross between a doughnut and a fritter. They are made by deep frying choux pastry and served with a dusting of icing/powdered sugar.
Why should I make these Beignets?
You should make them because they are mini…and everything mini tastes so much better. Ok, that might not be entirely true but these mini beignets are so cute and so much fun to eat as I have paired them with an easy 2 ingredient chocolate ganache dip.
How to pronounce Beignets?
Whatever you do…do not pronounce it Beg-net… it’s Ben-yay!
They look delicious, how do you make them?

How to serve these Mini Beignets?
Beignets are traditionally served with a dusting of icing/powdered sugar which tastes delicious. As mine are mini Beignets I thought it would be fun to serve them with a chocolate ganache dip which is super easy to make, just 2 ingredients. Melt either dark or milk chocolate in the microwave, then stir in a little double cream and that’s it!
