Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Donuts Recipe

Introduction

These strawberry cheesecake stuffed donuts are a delightful treat combining soft, fluffy dough with a creamy, tangy filling and a burst of fruity sweetness. Perfect for breakfast or an indulgent snack, they bring bakery flavors right to your kitchen.

Ingredients

• 1 can refrigerated biscuits
• 4 oz softened cream cheese
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar, plus extra for dusting
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons strawberry preserves
• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
2. Step 2: Flatten each biscuit round into a 3-inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
3. Step 3: Add 1 tablespoon of strawberry preserves and a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture to the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough into a half-moon shape, pressing the edges tightly to seal the filling inside.
4. Step 4: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the donuts seam-side down first, cooking for about 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Step 5: Remove donuts from the oil and drain on paper towels. Let them cool slightly before dusting generously with powdered sugar and serving.

Tips & Variations

• For easier sealing, moisten the edges of the dough with a little water before folding.
• You can swap strawberry preserves for raspberry or blueberry for a different fruity flavor.
• If you prefer baking, place the stuffed donuts on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes.

Storage

Store leftover donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to 5 days and reheat gently in the microwave or oven. These donuts are best enjoyed fresh for the soft texture and creamy filling.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use homemade dough instead of refrigerated biscuits?

Yes, homemade biscuit or doughnut dough works well. Just roll it out to the same thickness and follow the same filling and frying steps.

How do I prevent the filling from leaking while frying?

Make sure to seal the edges firmly by pressing them together and using a bit of water to help. Fry the donuts seam-side down first to help keep them closed during cooking.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Dough

• 1 can refrigerated biscuits (10 count)

Filling

• 4 oz softened cream cheese
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon strawberry preserves per donut

Frying & Finishing

• Vegetable oil, for frying
• Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, creating a sweet and tangy cheesecake filling.
2. Shape the Dough: Take each biscuit round and flatten it into a 3-inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin, preparing a surface for the filling.
3. Assemble: Spoon 1 tablespoon of strawberry preserves along with a generous spoonful of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over into a half-moon shape and seal the edges tightly to encase the filling completely.
4. Fry the Donuts: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the stuffed donuts seam-side down into the hot oil and fry for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until they turn a golden brown color.
5. Cool and Serve: Remove the fried donuts and drain them on paper towels. Allow to cool slightly before dusting generously with powdered sugar. Serve warm for the best experience.

Notes

• Ensure the filling is well sealed inside the dough to prevent leaking during frying.
• Use a thermometer to maintain oil temperature at 350°F for even cooking and to avoid greasy donuts.
• Refrigerate any unused cream cheese filling promptly to keep fresh.
• For a crispier texture, fry donuts in small batches without overcrowding the pan.
