Ingredients
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- Oil for frying
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam or puree
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2–3 tbsp milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- In a bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk and let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- Add sugar, eggs, butter, and salt, mixing until combined.
- Gradually add flour, kneading until a soft dough forms. Cover and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

- Place donuts on a floured surface, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry donuts in batches for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, strawberry jam, and vanilla until smooth.
- Transfer filling to a piping bag fitted with a round tip and fill each cooled donut with the strawberry cheesecake mixture.
- Mix powdered sugar and milk to make the glaze, then drizzle or dip donuts as desired.
- Let the glaze set before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the oil is at the right temperature for even frying.
