Ingredients
  

  • For the Donut Dough
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup warm milk 110°F
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter softened
  • Oil for frying vegetable or canola oil
  • For the Filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup finely diced strawberries or strawberry preserves
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Glaze
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 3-4 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Make the Dough
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix until well combined.
  • Add the warm milk, eggs, and softened butter. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-6 minutes.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
  • Shape the Donuts
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about ½ inch thick. Use a donut cutter or round cutters to cut out the donuts.
  • Place the cut donuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let them rise again for 30 minutes until puffy.
  • Fry the Donuts
  • Heat oil in a deep fryer or pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the donuts in small batches, cooking for about 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
  • Remove and drain on a wire rack lined with paper towels. Let the donuts cool completely.
  • Prepare the Filling
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the diced strawberries (or preserves) and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  • Transfer the filling to a piping bag fitted with a large round or star tip.
  • Fill the Donuts
  • Use a skewer or knife to create a hole in the side of each donut. Insert the piping tip and fill the donuts with the strawberry cheesecake filling until plump.
  • Make the Glaze
  • In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the milk for a thicker or thinner glaze.
  • Glaze the Donuts
  • Dip the tops of the filled donuts into the glaze and place them back on the wire rack to set.
