Expert Tips for Perfect Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Donuts

Yeast Activation: Ensure milk is warm (not hot) to properly activate yeast without killing it for optimal dough rise.

Oil Temperature: Maintain consistent 350°F oil temperature for even cooking and prevent greasy or undercooked donuts.

Filling Technique: Use bismarck tip or long piping tip to fill donuts evenly without overstuffing and bursting.

Dough Consistency: Properly kneaded dough should be smooth and elastic, springing back when poked gently with finger.

Timing is Key: Fill donuts only after completely cooled to prevent filling from melting and creating mess.

Make-Ahead Magic: Compote and filling can be prepared day ahead - assemble donuts morning of serving for best results.

Instructions

Combine warm milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon sugar in large bowl, letting stand 5 minutes until foamy and active.

Add melted butter, eggs, vanilla, remaining sugar, and salt to yeast mixture, whisking until well combined.

Gradually add flour, mixing until soft dough forms that pulls away from bowl sides cleanly.

Turn dough onto floured surface and knead 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding flour as needed.

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

Meanwhile, prepare strawberry compote by combining strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch in saucepan.

Cook compote over medium heat 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently until thickened and jammy consistency forms.

Cool compote completely and prepare cream cheese filling by beating cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.

Add powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla, almond extract, and salt to cream cheese, beating until light.

Roll risen dough on floured surface to 1/2-inch thickness and cut into 12 circles using donut cutter.

Place cut donuts on parchment-lined baking sheets, cover, and rise 45 minutes until puffy and doubled.

Heat oil to 350°F in deep fryer or large pot, maintaining temperature throughout frying process.

Fry donuts in batches 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through completely.

Remove donuts and drain on paper towels, cooling completely before filling to prevent melting.

Use piping bag fitted with long tip to fill each donut with cream cheese filling and strawberry compote.

Prepare glaze by whisking powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth and coating consistency forms.

Dip each filled donut in glaze, allowing excess to drip off before placing on cooling rack.

Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs and fresh strawberry slices while glaze is still wet for best adhesion!
