Ingredients
Scale
For the donut holes:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
For the cheesecake filling:
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries (finely chopped)
For coating:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the donut dough: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a thick dough forms.
- Heat the oil: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature and ensure consistent frying.
- Fry the donut holes: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides. Remove the donut holes and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil. While still warm, roll the donut holes in the cinnamon-sugar coating mixture.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries until evenly combined.
- Fill the donut holes: Use a skewer to carefully create a small opening in each donut hole. Fill a piping bag fitted with a small tip with the cheesecake filling. Pipe the filling into each donut hole, being careful not to overstuff.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve your strawberry cheesecake stuffed donut holes warm for the best taste. These are perfect for dessert, snacks, or a special occasion treat.
