Recipe: Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Donuts

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
  • Vegetable oil for frying
• For the Filling:
• • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup strawberry jam or puree
• For the Glaze:
• • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Prepare the dough: Activate the yeast in warm milk with 1 tablespoon sugar. After it becomes frothy, mix in flour, salt, melted butter, and the egg. Knead the dough until smooth and let it rise for about 1-2 hours until doubled.
2. Shape and Fry: Roll out the dough to ½-inch thickness, cut into donut shapes, and let rise again. Fry in hot oil at 375°F (190°C) until golden. Let them drain on paper towels.
3. Make the filling: Beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in the strawberry jam to create a creamy filling.
4. Fill the donuts: Once the donuts have cooled, use a small knife or piping bag to fill each one with the strawberry cheesecake mixture.
5. Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to make the glaze. Drizzle it over the donuts, and garnish with fresh strawberries if desired.

These donuts are a crowd-pleaser with their light and fluffy texture paired with the luscious cheesecake filling and the sweet glaze. You can customize the filling or glaze with different fruits like blueberries or raspberries for a fun twist.

For storage, they can be refrigerated for 1-2 days and reheated before serving, but they are best enjoyed fresh! (Recipes By Clare)​(FULL RECIPE)​(Los Angeles Recipes)​(Family Fresh Recipes)
