Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Add milk and tea bags to a small saucepan over low heat. Heat gently for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not let boil. Remove tea bags. Pour milk into a bowl over ice bath and let cool, about 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Remove the bowl from the ice bath and add vanilla pudding mix. Whisk for 2-5 minutes until thickened. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a round tk tip and set aside in fridge.

3. 3

   Add candy melts to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals, whisking in between, until melted. Transfer to a piping bag. Pipe out 8 pairs of wings onto parchment-lined baking sheet, using a template if needed. Chill in fridge until set, about 10 minutes. Spray with edible gold spray and let set.

4. 4

   Add about 4 inches of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot and attach a thermometer. Heat oil to 350 degrees F. Fry biscuits in batches until golden brown and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

5. 5

   Insert a chopstick in the side of each doughnut and wiggle around to hollow some space. Fill with chilled pudding mixture.

6. 6

   Add the cream cheese, sugar, and salt to the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat until fluffy and transfer to a large bowl.

7. 7

   Add the heavy whipping cream and several drops of blue gel food coloring to the standing mixer and whip to stiff peaks.

8. 8

   Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in 3 batches.

9. 9

   Transfer mixture to a piping bag fitted with an 826 star tip.

10. 10

    Pipe a swirl of frosting on top of each doughnut. Sprinkle silver stars over the frosting. Insert the wings into the frosting and enjoy!
