Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Donuts

Ingredients:

For the Donuts:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup whole milk

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Strawberry Cheesecake Filling:

1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon heavy cream

For the Coating:

1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)

Instructions:

Prepare the Donuts:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a donut pan.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Spoon the donut batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Allow the donuts to cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Prepare the Strawberry Cheesecake Filling:

In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until smooth and creamy.

Gently fold in the chopped strawberries. Mix until well combined. Set aside.

Assemble the Donuts:

Once the donuts have cooled slightly, use a small knife or piping tool to create a hole in the center of each donut.

Fill a piping bag with the strawberry cheesecake filling and pipe it into the center of each donut.

Roll the stuffed donuts in granulated sugar for a sweet, crunchy coating.
