Ingredients
For the Donut Sandwiches:
4 chocolate-glazed donuts
½ cup creamy or chunky peanut butter
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup crushed Reese’s cups (or similar peanut butter cups)
For the Peanut Butter Drizzle:
¼ cup peanut butter
2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the crushed Reese’s cups. Chill the filling for at least 30 minutes.
-
Slice each donut in half horizontally to create a top and bottom layer. Spread a thin layer of peanut butter on each bottom half.
-
Once chilled, spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling onto the peanut butter layer of each donut bottom. Top with the other donut half.
-
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and milk. Microwave for 15–20 seconds, stir until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach drizzle consistency.
-
Drizzle the peanut butter mixture over the donuts and sprinkle with more crushed Reese’s cups. Serve immediately.
Notes
-
Use mini donuts for bite-sized treats.
-
You can substitute almond butter or cookie butter for a flavor twist.
-
Best served fresh, but filling can be made ahead and stored chilled.
