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
Instructions
Prepare the Dough:
In a bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in warm milk. Let sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.
Add flour, salt, melted butter, egg, and remaining sugar. Knead until smooth. Let rise until doubled in size.
Form and Fry Donuts:
On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut out donuts and let rise again.
Fry in 375°F (190°C) oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Make the Filling:
Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in strawberry jam.
Fill Donuts:
Once cooled, make a hole in the side of each donut. Pipe in the strawberry cheesecake filling.
Glaze:
Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to make the glaze. Drizzle over filled donuts.
Notes
Ensure yeast is properly activated for the fluffiest donuts.
Cool donuts completely before filling to avoid melting the cheesecake mixture.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and enjoy within a couple of days.
