What makes these mocha doughnuts no-bake?

These doughnuts are no-bake because the base is made by processing rolled oats, nuts, dates, and coffee until sticky, then shaped and chilled, rather than baked in an oven.

How is the mocha flavor achieved in these doughnuts?

The mocha flavor comes from incorporating 1/4 cup of unsweetened chopped chocolate and 1/2-1 teaspoon of ground coffee beans directly into the doughnut mixture.

Can I use any type of nuts for the doughnut base?

Yes, the recipe suggests using 1 cup of walnuts, cashews, or pecans, allowing you to choose your preferred nut or a combination for the doughnut base.

What is the best way to frost these no-bake doughnuts?

You can either spread the prepared chocolate frosting using a butter knife or transfer the frosting to a bowl and dip the top of each chilled doughnut for an even coating.

How should I store leftover No-Bake Mocha Doughnuts?

Store these doughnuts in the fridge or freezer until the frosting hardens. They can be enjoyed immediately or eaten straight from the freezer for a firmer texture.

How to Prepare No-Bake Mocha Doughnuts With Chocolate Frosting [Vegan]

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Add all the ingredients for the donuts (not the frosting) in a food processor and process until the mixture sticks together when pressed.
On a clean surface, roll 1/4 cup of the mixture to make a long cylinder, then stick together the ends to make a round donut shape. Make 6 donuts.
Place the donuts on the prepared cookie sheet. Place in the freezer while you prepare the frosting.
To make the frosting, use a small food processor. Add all the ingredients for the glaze in the food processor. Process until smooth, up to 5 minutes depending on your food processor. The frosting should be creamy, smooth and lightly thick.
To frost the donuts, either spread the frosting using a butter knife or transfer the frosting to a bowl and dip the top of each donuts. There might be some leftover frosting, you can use it in other recipes or eat it as is.
Let chill in the fridge or freezer until the frosting hardens or eat it immediately. It can be eaten straight from the freezer.

Notes

If you have a weaker food processor, you might have a hard time getting the frosting smooth. You can try using soaked cashews, but you may need to reduce the amount of coconut milk.
