Description
Delicious warm donuts filled with a creamy cheesecake-like filling and fresh strawberries, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk, warm
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Oil for frying
- Cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar for coating
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk, granulated sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually mix in flour and salt until a dough forms; knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, chopped strawberries, and lemon juice until smooth and set aside.
- Punch down the risen dough and roll it out to ½ inch thickness. Cut out donuts and place on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
- Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F and fry donuts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Once slightly cooled, use a piping bag to fill each donut with the cheesecake mixture.
- Toss filled donuts in cinnamon sugar or sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Ensure your oil temperature is consistent while frying for the best texture. Let donuts cool before filling to prevent melting.
