Ingredients
Method
Prepare Donut Dough
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add melted butter, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
- Gradually add flour, mixing until a dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Make Cheesecake Filling
- In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add powdered sugar, pureed strawberries, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Shape and Fry Donuts
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thick.
- Cut out donut shapes using a donut cutter or two round cutters.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry donuts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove and place on a cooling rack to cool slightly.
Fill Donuts and Glaze
- Using a piping bag, fill each donut with the cheesecake filling.
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze.
- Dip the tops of the filled donuts into the glaze and let set.
