Strawberry Cheesecake Donut Holes (Print Version)

Golden donut holes filled with strawberry cheesecake and topped with glaze.

# Ingredients:

→ Donut Holes

01 - 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
02 - Vegetable oil, for frying

→ Strawberry Cheesecake Filling

03 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened
04 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar
05 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
06 - 1/3 cup strawberry jam or puree
07 - 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries

→ Glaze

08 - 1 cup powdered sugar
09 - 2-3 tbsp milk
10 - 1 tsp vanilla extract

# Instructions:

01 - In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and strawberry jam until creamy. Fold in the finely chopped strawberries. Transfer the filling to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip and refrigerate.
02 - Cut the biscuit dough into small pieces and roll each into a ball. Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the dough balls in batches for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
03 - Once cool enough to handle, use a skewer or small knife to create a hole in each donut hole. Pipe the strawberry cheesecake filling into each.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Dip each donut hole into the glaze, allowing the excess to drip off.
05 - Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure the oil is maintained at the correct temperature to avoid undercooking or overcooking the dough.
