Скачать или смотреть We Recreated Theo’s Loukoumades from MasterChef Australia 2025 | Greek Donuts with Mahlepi Magic!

We had NEVER tried loukoumades before — but thanks to Theo’s incredible recipe from MasterChef Australia 2025, we’re officially obsessed! 😍🍩

These golden Greek donuts are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and drenched in a honey-orange thyme syrup that had the judges raving. But the real surprise? A mahlepi glaze — a spice we’d never even heard of, and it turned out to be absolutely delicious, especially paired with powdered sugar and pistachios.

Theo’s twist on this classic dessert blew us (and the judges!) away. Watch as we recreate it step-by-step — and taste loukoumades for the very first time!
