A delightful fusion of fluffy fried donut holes filled with creamy cheesecake and topped with warm strawberry glaze. Perfect for parties, brunch, or anytime you want a fun, bite-sized treat!
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
¾ cup milk
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
½ cup strawberry jam, warmed until pourable
In a large bowl, whisk together:
flour
sugar
baking powder
salt
In another bowl, whisk the milk, melted butter, vanilla, and egg.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.
In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar.
Mix until smooth and creamy.
Transfer to a small piping bag (or plastic bag with a tiny tip cut).
Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).
With lightly floured hands, roll dough into 1-inch balls.
Fry in small batches for 2–3 minutes, turning to brown evenly.
Remove and place on paper towels to drain.
Insert the piping tip into each donut hole and gently fill with cheesecake cream.
Drizzle the warm strawberry jam over the top.
Serve warm or room temperature.
