  • Total Time: 2 hours 30 minutes
  • Yield: 10–12 donuts 1x

Ingredients

Scale

🍩 Donut Dough

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ tsp instant yeast
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup warm milk
  • 2 egg yolks
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened

🍰 Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup heavy cream

🍓 Strawberry Compote

  • 1 cup chopped fresh or frozen strawberries
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Optional: 1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water (for thickening)

🍭 Coating

  • ½ cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
  • Graham cracker crumbs (optional, for extra cheesecake flavor)
  • Optional glaze: ½ cup powdered sugar + 2–3 tsp milk

Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Dough

  • Combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

  • Add egg yolks, flour, salt, and mix until dough forms.

  • Knead in softened butter until smooth. Cover and rise 1–1.5 hours.

2️⃣ Prepare Fillings

  • Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Add cream and beat until smooth. Chill for piping.

  • Simmer strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice for 10–15 minutes. Thicken with cornstarch if needed. Cool completely.

3️⃣ Shape & Fry Donuts

  • Roll out dough and cut into rounds. Let rise 30–45 minutes.

  • Heat oil to 350°F (180°C) and fry donuts 2–3 minutes per side. Drain and roll in sugar while warm.

4️⃣ Fill & Garnish

 

  • Use piping bag to fill each donut with cheesecake, then strawberry compote.

  • Top with crushed graham crackers or drizzle glaze over the top.

Notes

  • Chill your fillings before piping to keep them thick and stable.

  • For less mess, fill from the side using a long piping tip.

  • These donuts are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for 2 days in the fridge.

  • You can bake them instead of frying at 375°F for 12–15 minutes—texture will be less crispy but still delicious.
