Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup strawberries, chopped
- Oil for frying
- Additional powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Start by grabbing a medium bowl. Add the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Give it a good mix so the ingredients combine well.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until they blend smoothly.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just mixed. Don’t overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine!
- Heat the Oil: In a deep pan, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). It’s hot enough when you drop in a small amount of batter, and it sizzles immediately.
- Fry the Donuts: Once the oil is ready, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry them until they turn a beautiful golden brown, which takes about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remember to flip them halfway through!
- Drain the Donuts: Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts from the oil and drain them on paper towels. This keeps them from getting too greasy.
- Prepare the Filling: While the donuts cool, you can prepare the filling. Beat the cream cheese with the powdered sugar until it’s nice and smooth. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
- Fill the Donuts: Once the donuts have cooled off, take your piping bag and fill them with the strawberry cheesecake mixture. If you don’t have a piping bag, you can cut the tip off a resealable bag and use that instead.
- Dust and Serve: Finally, dust the filled donuts with powdered sugar before serving. And there you have it—the most delightful strawberry cheesecake stuffed donuts!
Notes
Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
