Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Donuts

 

Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Donuts

Fluffy Donuts Filled with Creamy Strawberry Cheesecake and Topped with a Sweet Glaze

Ingredients:

For the Donuts:

1 cup warm milk

2 teaspoons active dry yeast

2 tablespoons sugar

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 large egg

For the Filling:

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup strawberry jam

For the Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

Prepare the Dough:

In a bowl, dissolve the yeast and 1 tablespoon of sugar in warm milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until frothy.

Add the flour, salt, melted butter, egg, and the remaining tablespoon of sugar. Knead the mixture until smooth. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Form and Fry Donuts:

On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Use a donut cutter or a round cutter to cut out donut shapes. Let the donuts rise again for 15-20 minutes.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C). Fry the donuts in batches until they are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Make the Filling:

In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the strawberry jam until well combined.

Fill Donuts:

Once the donuts have cooled completely, use a small knife to make a hole in the side of each donut. Pipe in the strawberry cheesecake filling using a piping bag with a round tip.

Glaze:

In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the filled donuts.

Tips:

Ensure the yeast is properly activated for the fluffiest donuts.

Cool the donuts completely before filling them to avoid melting the cheesecake mixture.

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and enjoy them within a couple of days.
