¼ cup unsalted butter, melted 🧈

1 egg 🥚

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon salt

Vegetable oil (for frying)

For the Strawberry Cheesecake Filling:

½ cup powdered sugar

½ cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped 🍓

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon heavy cream (for extra creaminess, optional)

For the Coating:

1. Prepare the Donut Dough:

In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Stir and let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together remaining sugar, melted butter, egg, salt, and yeast mixture.

Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic. (If using a stand mixer, use the dough hook.)

Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1–1.5 hours or until doubled in size.

2. Make the Strawberry Cheesecake Filling:

In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Fold in chopped strawberries and mix well.

Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

3. Shape & Fry the Donuts:

Roll out the risen dough on a floured surface to about ½-inch thickness.

Cut out circles using a round cookie cutter or glass (about 3 inches wide).
