Description
These Strawberry Cheesecake Donuts are a delightful blend of flavors that bring joy to your breakfast table.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 yeast donuts (homemade or store-bought)
- 4 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2–3 tbsp heavy cream or milk
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (sliced)
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp melted butter (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by ensuring your donuts are ready for glazing. If you’ve made them from scratch, allow them to cool completely on a wire rack. Should you be using store-bought donuts, consider warming them slightly in the oven or microwave to refresh their flavor and texture.
- In a medium bowl, beat the room-temperature cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and mix thoroughly, achieving a pleasingly smooth consistency. Introduce the vanilla extract and finally, slowly add heavy cream or milk until the glaze reaches a thick yet pourable texture.
- Wash and thinly slice your strawberries. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Dip or spoon the creamy cheesecake glaze generously over the top of each donut, ensuring an even coating.
- Arrange the fresh strawberry slices over the still-wet glaze and press down gently to ensure they stick.
- For an extra special crunch and sparkle, sprinkle the granulated sugar over the glazed donuts with strawberries.
- Let the donuts chill in the refrigerator for about 10–15 minutes to allow the glaze to set.
Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier blending into the glaze. Store leftover donuts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for optimum freshness, ideally consumed within 1-2 days.
