Description
Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Donuts are golden, crispy fried donuts filled with a luscious cream cheese mixture and sweet strawberry preserves, then finished with a dusting of powdered sugar. Perfect as a decadent breakfast, snack, or dessert.
Ingredients
1 can refrigerated biscuits (8 count)
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar (plus extra for dusting)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
8 tbsp strawberry preserves
Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Flatten each refrigerated biscuit into a 3-inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
- Place 1 tablespoon of cream cheese filling and 1 tablespoon of strawberry preserves in the center of each circle.
- Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and seal edges tightly (use a fork to crimp if needed).
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the stuffed donuts seam-side down for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Remove and drain on paper towels. Allow to cool slightly.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Ensure edges are sealed well to prevent filling leakage.
Use different preserves like blueberry, raspberry, or cherry for variety.
Bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes for a lighter version.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes for best texture.
