Chanukah OOT (over the top) with this chocolate one-two-three-punch. Chocolate pastry cream filling, chocolate glaze, topped with chocolate-covered malted milk balls. It's easy to see why we call this "divine."Once you've finished mixing and kneading our Classic Sufganiyot dough (see recipes), start on the chocolate filling, since both needs 2 hours to rest. Or, if making the dough the night before, start the filling when you take the dough out of the fridge. That way, they'll both be ready at the same time.
In a medium sauté pan, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, malt powder, and salt. The mixture will be fairly thick.
Slowly whisk in the milk. Place pan over medium-low heat. Stir constantly so that the milk does not burn and the eggs do not cook. When the mixture just comes to a boil it will quickly begin to thicken.
Remove from heat and continue whisking until thick and smooth, and it’s the consistency of pudding. Add chocolate chunks, butter, and vanilla extract to the warm chocolate mixture and stir until all is melted and well incorporated.
Transfer hot pastry cream to a small bowl. Place a piece of parchment paper on top of the cream (so that it touches the cream) to cover the surface and keep a skin from forming. Chill for 2 hours.
Fill a pastry bag, fitted with a round tip, with the malted chocolate filling. Poke a hole in the side or on top of the Sufganiyot and fill.
Glaze with Bittersweet Chocolate Glaze (recipe below) and garnish with malted milk balls and chocolate shavings.
Heat cream in sauté pan, over low heat until steaming, but not boiling.
Pour hot cream over the chocolate and set aside for 10 minutes. Stir in butter and vanilla.
Spoon over filled doughnuts. Garnish your chocolate sufganiyot with malted milk balls and chocolate shavings.

What can I use as a substitute for the malted milk powder as I don’t like the flavor?
Hi Phyllis, thanks for checking out my blog. You can use regular powdered milk or coconut powder milk instead. I hope that helps. Happy Hanukkah, Liz
