1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
03 -
1/4 cup granulated sugar
04 -
1 teaspoon lemon juice
→ Cheesecake Filling
05 -
8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Frying and Garnish

Cooking oil, for frying
09 -
Powdered sugar, for dusting
# How to Make It:
01 -
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine diced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens. Transfer to a bowl and let cool completely.
02 -
In a medium bowl, blend softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Place the mixture into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with one corner snipped.
03 -
Gently flatten each piece of biscuit dough with your fingers. Avoid rolling too thin, keeping enough thickness to hold the fillings after frying.
04 -
Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (177°C). Fry shaped biscuit dough in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
05 -
Once donuts are cool enough to handle, cut a small hole in the side of each with a knife. Pipe in a portion of cheesecake filling, then follow with a spoonful of strawberry filling. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Ensure fillings are fully cooled before piping into donuts to maintain the texture and structural integrity.
