Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Baking and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Garnish Ingredients:
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries
- Additional strawberry slices
- Mint leaves
Instructions
- Prepare the kitchen workspace and gather all necessary equipment for creating stuffed donuts, ensuring a clean and organized environment.
- Blend dry ingredients in a spacious mixing bowl, creating a uniform base for the donut batter, whisking flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt thoroughly.
- In a separate container, whisk together liquid components including milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smoothly integrated.
- Gently fold wet ingredients into dry mixture, stirring until just combined without overmixing to maintain a light, airy texture.
- If baking, heat oven to 375F (190C) and grease donut pan; if frying, warm oil to appropriate temperature for deep-frying.
- Fill donut pan approximately 3/4 full with batter or carefully drop spoonfuls into hot oil, cooking until achieving a golden-brown exterior.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or fry until donuts reach optimal color and texture, then transfer to wire rack for complete cooling.
- Prepare strawberry cheesecake filling by whipping cream cheese until silky, then incorporating strawberry jam, chopped strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and heavy cream.
- Using piping bag or small knife, carefully inject each cooled donut with generous portion of strawberry cheesecake mixture.
- Finish by delicately dusting donuts with powdered sugar and adorning with fresh strawberry slices and mint leaves for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- Swap flour for gluten-free alternatives like almond or coconut flour to make the donuts celiac-friendly.
- Reduce sugar content by using stevia or monk fruit sweetener for a lower-calorie version.
- Use Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream to create a lighter, protein-packed filling that maintains creamy texture.
- When piping filling, chill the cheesecake mixture for 15-20 minutes to ensure easier and cleaner stuffing without leakage.
