✨ Fluffy, golden donuts filled with a luscious strawberry cheesecake mixture and topped with a sweet glaze. These indulgent treats are perfect for satisfying your dessert cravings! ✨
Ingredients:
For the Donuts:
1 cup warm milk 🥛
2 teaspoons active dry yeast 🌾
2 tablespoons sugar 🍬
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour 🍞
½ teaspoon salt 🧂
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 🧈
1 large egg 🥚
For the Filling:
1 cup cream cheese, softened 🧀
½ cup powdered sugar 🍚
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌼
½ cup strawberry jam 🍓
For the Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar 🍚
2 tablespoons milk 🥛
½ teaspoon vanilla extract 🌼
Directions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Dough:
In a bowl, dissolve the yeast and 1 tablespoon of sugar in warm milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
Add the flour, salt, melted butter, egg, and remaining sugar to the yeast mixture. Knead the dough until it’s smooth and elastic. Let it rise in a warm spot until it doubles in size (about 1 hour).
2️⃣ Form and Fry the Donuts:
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about ½ inch thickness. Use a donut cutter or a glass to cut out donut shapes. Allow the donuts to rise again for about 30 minutes.
Fry the donuts in hot oil (375°F / 190°C) until they are golden brown on both sides. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
3️⃣ Make the Filling:
In a bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the strawberry jam to create a creamy strawberry cheesecake filling.
4️⃣ Fill the Donuts:
Once the donuts have cooled, make a small hole in the side of each donut. Use a piping bag to fill them with the strawberry cheesecake mixture.
5️⃣ Glaze the Donuts:
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to create a glaze. Drizzle it over the filled donuts for a perfect, sweet finish.
Tips: 💡 Make sure your yeast is properly activated to achieve light and fluffy donuts.
💡 Allow the donuts to cool completely before filling to prevent the cheesecake mixture from melting.
💡 Store any leftovers in the fridge and enjoy them within a couple of days!
Enjoy your Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Donuts for a rich and decadent dessert!
