Ingredients

1/3 cup water
1/4 cup butter
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup sugar
1 env. (1/4 oz.) fast-rising yeast
3 cups flour, divided
1/4 tsp. salt
1 qt. (4 cups) oil
2 oz. BAKER'S White Chocolate, finely chopped
1/4 tsp. MAXWELL HOUSE Instant Coffee
1-1/2 cups (about 1/2 of 8-oz. tub) thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping

Steps:

Microwave water and butter in medium microwaveable bowl on HIGH 45 sec. or until butter is melted; pour into large mixing bowl. Stir in buttermilk. Add egg; mix well.
Combine sugar, yeast and 2 cups flour. Add to buttermilk mixture; beat on low speed with electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment 5 min.
Add salt; beat 2 min. Add remaining flour; beat on low speed 1 min. or just until blended.
Transfer dough to separate large bowl sprayed coated with cooking spray; cover with damp towel. Let rise in warm place 1 hour or until dough is doubled in volume.
Divide dough into 16 pieces; roll each into ball. Place, 4 inches apart, on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray; lightly spray tops of balls with additional cooking spray. Cover. Let rise in warm place 45 min.
Place wire cooling rack on paper towel-covered baking sheet. Heat oil to 350°F in Dutch oven or large saucepan. Carefully add 4 dough balls, 1 at a time, to hot oil; cook 2 min. or until donuts are golden brown, turning after 1 min.
Use slotted spoon to transfer donuts to prepared wire rack; cool completely.
Add chocolate and coffee to COOL WHIP in medium bowl; stir gently until blended. Partially cut each donut horizontally in half; fill with COOL WHIP mixture, adding about heaping 1 Tbsp. COOL WHIP mixture to each donut.
