📋 Ingredients:
🍩 For the Donuts:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup whole milk, warmed
1 large egg
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Vegetable oil, for frying
🍰 For the Cheesecake Filling:
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
🍓 For the Strawberry Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons fresh strawberry puree
1 tablespoon milk (optional for thinning)
📝 Directions:
1️⃣ Make the Donut Dough: In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together warm milk, egg, and melted butter. Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Cover the bowl with a towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
2️⃣ Shape the Donuts: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thick on a floured surface. Use a round cutter (or the rim of a glass) to cut out 12 donuts. Cover and let the donuts rise again for 30 minutes.
3️⃣ Fry the Donuts: Heat vegetable oil in a large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the donuts in batches, about 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
4️⃣ Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
5️⃣ Fill the Donuts: Using a piping bag fitted with a small round tip, fill each donut with the cheesecake mixture by poking a hole in the side and piping in the filling.
6️⃣ Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and strawberry puree. Add milk if needed to achieve the desired consistency.
7️⃣ Glaze the Donuts: Dip the tops of the donuts into the strawberry glaze and allow to set on a wire rack.
8️⃣ Serve: Enjoy your strawberry cheesecake stuffed donuts while they're fresh and delicious!
