# Ingredients:
→ Donut Dough
01 -
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
02 -
1 cup milk, warmed
03 -
2 tablespoons sugar
04 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
05 -
1 large egg
06 -
2 tablespoons melted butter, unsalted
07 -
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
→ Strawberry Cheesecake Filling
08 -
1 cup softened cream cheese
09 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
10 -
1/2 cup strawberry jam
11 -
1/2 cup powdered sugar
→ Glaze
12 -
2 tablespoons milk
13 -
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
14 -
1 cup powdered sugar
# Instructions:
01 -
Mix the sugar, yeast, and warm milk in a bowl. Wait around 5 minutes, until it looks bubbly and foamy. That means the yeast is alive and good to go!
02 -
Toss the flour, melted butter, egg, salt, and the remaining sugar into the yeast mixture. Knead everything until you have a ball of soft, stretchy dough. Cover it up and let it sit in a warm spot for roughly an hour until it’s doubled in size.
03 -
Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thick on a floured surface. Use a donut cutter or two circle cutters of different sizes to make your donut shapes. Set them aside on parchment paper and let them rise again for 15-20 minutes.
04 -
Warm up some oil in a deep pan to 375°F (190°C). Carefully add a few donuts to the oil and fry them until both sides are golden and crunchy. Drain them on paper towels after frying to soak up the extra oil.
05 -
Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla together until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in strawberry jam to get those pretty pink swirls in the mixture.
06 -
When the donuts are cool to the touch, cut a small opening on the side of each one. Fill a piping bag with the strawberry cheesecake mixture and squeeze it into the donuts until they feel nicely packed.
07 -
Whisk together milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla until silky smooth. Dip the tops of your donuts into the glaze, letting the excess slide down the edges.
08 -
Give the glaze a little time to set. Then dig in and savor the soft, sweet bites of these Strawberry Cheesecake Donuts! They're best when freshly made.
# Notes:
01 -
These donuts give you soft, freshly fried dough with a rich cheesecake-custard center swirled with sweet strawberry jam—an absolutely indulgent dessert!
02 -
Make sure the donuts are completely cool before you fill them. It helps keep the cheesecake stuffing smooth and creamy while adding that perfect textural contrast.
