Ingredients

Scale
  1. For the Donut Holes:
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 tsp baking powder
    • 1/4 tsp baking soda
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • 1/2 cup buttermilk
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 tbsp melted butter
    • Vegetable oil, for frying

    For the Strawberry Cheesecake Filling:

    • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
    • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
    • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1/4 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped

    For the Sugar Coating:

    1. 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    2. 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  • Make the Cheesecake Filling:
    In a small bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries. Transfer the filling to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Make the Donut Hole Batter:
    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  • Fry the Donut Holes:
    Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan to 350°F (175°C). Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, carefully drop batter into the hot oil, frying in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  • Fill the Donut Holes:
    Once cooled slightly, use the piping bag to inject each donut hole with the strawberry cheesecake filling.
  • Coat & Serve:
    In a shallow bowl, mix the granulated sugar with cinnamon if desired. Roll each filled donut hole in the sugar mixture until coated. Serve warm and enjoy the creamy, fruity filling in each bite

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese.
  • Be sure to let the donut holes cool slightly before filling to avoid the filling melting.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar to the coating.
