Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
