Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.

In separate bowl, combine warm milk, melted butter, egg yolks, and vanilla.

Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until soft dough forms.

Knead on floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic, or use stand mixer with dough hook for 6 minutes.

Place dough in greased bowl, cover with damp towel, and let rise 1-2 hours until doubled.

Meanwhile, make strawberry compote: Combine strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt in saucepan.

Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 6-8 minutes until thickened. Cool completely and refrigerate.

For cream cheese filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla, salt, and sour cream. Beat until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Punch down risen dough and roll to 1/2-inch thickness on floured surface.

Cut into 12 circles using 3-inch round cutter. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets.

Cover with kitchen towels and let rise 45-60 minutes until puffy and nearly doubled.

Heat oil in heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F.

Carefully fry donuts 2-3 at a time for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.

Remove with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Cool completely.

For filling: Gently fold strawberry compote into cream cheese mixture, creating swirls.

Using a skewer or knife, make a small hole in side of each donut and hollow out slightly.

Fill piping bag fitted with long tip with cheesecake filling. Pipe filling into each donut until full.

For glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth.

Dip top of each filled donut into glaze, allowing excess to drip off.

Garnish with fresh strawberry slices and serve immediately.
