Description
Make baked donuts with a creamy strawberry cheesecake filling and a simple glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for filling)
- 1/4 cup strawberry puree
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon strawberry puree (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard donut pan well.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the filling: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Mix in the 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 1/4 cup strawberry puree until fully incorporated.
- Once donuts are cool, use a small knife or piping tip to create a small hole in the side of each donut. Fill the hole with the strawberry cheesecake mixture.
- Prepare the glaze: Whisk together the 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1 tablespoon strawberry puree until smooth.
- Dip the top of each filled donut into the glaze. Let the glaze set before serving.
Notes
- You can use fresh or frozen strawberries for the puree. Thaw and blend them well.
- If you do not have a piping bag, you can use a small spoon to carefully fill the donuts.
- Store leftover donuts in an airtight container in the refrigerator due to the cream cheese filling.
