Copycat Krispy Kreme x Harry Potter collection: Ravenclaw Doughnut Recipe (Easy)

If you ever wished your breakfast came with a side of house pride, this Ravenclaw Doughnut copycat delivers the magic. Inspired by the Krispy Kreme x Harry Potter Hogwarts collection, it’s an original glazed doughnut dipped in a silky blueberry-flavored icing, crowned with house-colored sprinkles and a noble Ravenclaw crest.

It’s the kind of doughnut that feels like it belongs in a Hogwarts common room, cool, clever, and just a little mysterious. You can use store-bought doughnuts for ease or go full wizard mode and make the base from scratch. The icing is where the real charm happens: a rich, glossy glaze that tastes like candy-blueberry and looks straight from a spellbook.

Whether you’re prepping a Harry Potter movie night, a themed birthday party, or just want to surprise someone with a bit of edible enchantment, this Ravenclaw Doughnut recipe makes the moment feel straight out of Diagon Alley.

How to make Ravenclaw Doughnuts

Start with fresh Original Glazed doughnuts or make your own yeast-raised rings. Whisk together powdered sugar, corn syrup, milk, and a touch of oil to create a glossy icing base. Add blueberry flavor (powder or extract, your choice) and gel coloring until the icing turns a bold house blue. Dip each doughnut face-down into the icing, top with Ravenclaw-inspired blue sprinkles, and finish with a crest medallion if you have one.

Let the icing set slightly before serving, it’ll harden just enough to crack gently when you bite into it.

Ingredients (for 6 doughnuts)

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 0 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 6 doughnuts

Doughnuts

• 6 Krispy Kreme Original Glazed doughnuts (or any light yeast-glazed doughnuts)

Blueberry Icing

• 1½ cups (180 g) powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp (30 g) light corn syrup or glucose syrup
• 2½–3 tbsp (40–45 ml) whole milk (or any milk)
• 1½ tsp refined coconut oil (or neutral oil), melted
• 2 tsp freeze-dried blueberry powder or ½ tsp blueberry extract
• A small drop of blue gel food coloring
• Optional: tiny pinch of violet or black gel to deepen the color
• 1 tsp lemon juice (optional, brightens natural blueberry flavor)

Toppings

• Blue sprinkles (jimmies, sugar pearls, or a custom Ravenclaw mix)
• Ravenclaw crest topper (wafer paper or fondant), optional

Tools you’ll need

• Mixing bowl
• Whisk
• Measuring spoons and cups
• Wire rack
• Parchment paper or tray
• Spoon or offset spatula (optional for icing control)

Instructions

Make the icing

1. In a medium bowl, whisk powdered sugar, corn syrup, and 2½ tbsp milk until smooth.
2. Stir in melted coconut oil.
3. Add your blueberry flavor:
   • For natural: mix in blueberry powder and lemon juice.
   • For candy-style: use blueberry extract only.
4. Add food coloring a little at a time. Adjust until you reach a rich, Ravenclaw-blue tone.
5. Thin with more milk or thicken with a bit more sugar until the icing runs in a ribbon but holds a gentle shape.

Dip the doughnuts

1. Set your wire rack over parchment or a tray.
2. One by one, dip the doughnuts face-down into the icing. Let excess drip off as you lift.
3. Immediately add sprinkles while the surface is tacky.
4. After a minute or two, gently press on the Ravenclaw crest topper.
5. Let set at room temp for about 20 minutes until icing is touch-dry and shiny.

Tips

• If using freeze-dried blueberry powder, sift it well to avoid clumps in the icing.
• Chill your doughnuts for 10 minutes before dipping for a smoother set.
• Use blue gel food coloring, not liquid, to avoid thinning the icing too much.
• Store at room temperature, uncovered for the first hour to help icing set.
• Want a smoother, glassy finish? Warm the icing for 5 seconds in the microwave before dipping.

What to serve with

Sweet pairings

• Blueberry lemon scones – The citrus edge balances the icing’s sweetness and keeps the blue theme going.
• Vanilla bean milk or cold brew – Something creamy or lightly bitter helps offset the sugar rush and keeps the doughnut center stage.
• Chocolate frogs or wizard-themed treats – Perfect for themed parties or movie marathons. Stack them on a Hogwarts-style platter with your doughnuts for max effect.

Savory contrasts

• Soft-boiled eggs with toast soldiers – An odd but comforting pairing. It feels like a breakfast table at Hogwarts.
• Mini bacon quiches – The salty, eggy bite makes a great foil to all the blueberry-sweetness.
• Cheese and fruit board – A nibble of sharp cheddar, a few grapes, and a Ravenclaw doughnut make for a whimsical brunch snack plate.

For parties

• Frozen butterbeer shots
• Fruit punch with dry ice fog
• Ravenclaw trivia cards to place next to each treat on the table
• Blue paper napkins tied with silver ribbon to complete the house color theme

Variations

Slytherin Switch

Use green gel coloring and mint extract instead of blueberry. Top with green sugar crystals and a Slytherin crest.

Gryffindor Fire

Swap blueberry flavor for cinnamon extract, color the icing red, and use gold sprinkles with a Gryffindor badge.

Hufflepuff Delight

Use golden yellow icing and brown butter flavoring (or maple), and sprinkle with cookie crumbs and yellow jimmies.

Kid-Friendly Decorating Party

Skip the crest and set out bowls of sprinkles and colored icings. Let each guest dip and design their own house doughnut.

Make-it-Magical Version

Dust the finished doughnut lightly with edible glitter or pearl dust for a potion-worthy shimmer.
