-
Vegetable oil, for frying
For the Strawberry Cheesecake Filling:
-
8 oz cream cheese, softened
-
½ cup powdered sugar
-
⅓ cup strawberry jam or preserves
-
½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
-
Fresh diced strawberries (optional, for extra texture)
For Coating (Optional but Recommended):

½ cup granulated sugar

1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Donut Holes
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Stir in the strawberry jam and vanilla extract (and fresh berries if using). Transfer the filling to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped. Chill the filling in the fridge while you prepare the dough.
Step 2: Cut the Dough
Separate the biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters to form 16–20 pieces. Roll each into a smooth ball.
Step 3: Heat the Oil
Heat 2–3 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accurate temperature control to prevent soggy or burnt donuts.
Step 4: Fry the Donut Holes
Fry the dough balls in batches (don’t overcrowd the pan). Cook for 2–3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Step 5: Coat in Sugar
While still warm, roll the donut holes in a sugar or cinnamon-sugar mix for extra flavor and texture.
Step 6: Fill the Donuts
Once the donuts have cooled slightly, use a small knife or skewer to make a hole in each. Pipe the cheesecake filling into the center until you feel resistance.
