Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Donuts are soft, golden-fried donuts filled with a creamy cheesecake and strawberry center. Combining two classic desserts, these indulgent treats are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.

Ingredients

  • For the donuts:
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Oil for frying
  • For the cheesecake filling:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, finely diced or mashed
  • 2 tbsp strawberry jam or puree (optional)
  • For finishing:
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Optional: graham cracker crumbs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Activate yeast in warm milk with a pinch of sugar. Let sit until foamy (about 5–10 minutes).
  2. In a bowl, mix flour, remaining sugar, salt, eggs, butter, and the yeast mixture until a dough forms.
  3. Knead until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
  4. Roll out dough and cut into 3-inch rounds. Let rise again while heating oil to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Fry donuts in batches until golden on both sides, about 1–2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  6. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and strawberries (and jam if using) until smooth. Chill the mixture slightly.
  7. Using a piping bag, poke a hole into each donut and fill with cheesecake mixture.
  8. Dust donuts with powdered sugar or roll in graham cracker crumbs. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use jam or preserves for more strawberry flavor.
  • Try raspberries, blueberries, or Nutella as alternative fillings.
  • Store-bought dough works as a time-saving shortcut.
  • Chill filling to help it pipe smoothly and hold its shape.
  • Filled donuts should be refrigerated and eaten within 2 days.
