Irresistible Strawberry Cheesecake Donuts


Instructions:

  1. Make donuts:
    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Mix dry ingredients in one bowl (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar).
    • Whisk wet ingredients (milk, eggs, sour cream, butter, vanilla).
    • Combine and spoon into a greased donut pan.
    • Bake 12–15 minutes until golden. Let cool.
  2. Cheesecake filling:
    • Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
    • Fold in whipped cream. Transfer to piping bag.
  3. Glaze:
    • Mix strawberry puree (or jam), powdered sugar, and lemon juice until smooth. Adjust thickness with more sugar if needed.
  4. Assemble:
    • Using a piping tip, fill each cooled donut with cheesecake filling.
    • Dip tops in strawberry glaze.
    • Sprinkle with crushed graham crackers/crumbs.
  5. Serve: Chill 10 minutes for glaze to set — then enjoy the melt-in-your-mouth goodness! 🤤

✨ Tips & Variations:

  • Make it fried: Use yeast donut dough if you want bakery-style fried donuts.
  • Swirl in a little strawberry jam with the cheesecake filling for double flavor.
  • Use freeze-dried strawberries crushed on top for a tangy crunch.
  • Add a dollop of whipped cream + fresh strawberry on top for Instagram wow 📸.

Ashley, would you like me to also give you the fried yeast donut version (like fair-style stuffed donuts) for that ultra-indulgent touch? 🍩🔥
