Ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
  • 1 cup strawberries, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk (optional, to thin the filling)
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook the strawberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water for 6–8 minutes until thickened. Let cool completely.
  2. In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk (if needed) until smooth. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm.
  3. Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Separate and lightly flatten each biscuit.
  5. Fry biscuits 1–2 minutes per side until golden. Drain on paper towels.
  6. Once cooled slightly, poke a hole into each donut using a piping tip or spoon handle.
  7. Fill one piping bag with cheesecake mixture and another with the strawberry compote.
  8. Pipe a small amount of cheesecake into each donut, followed by the strawberry filling.
  9. Serve immediately or chill 10–15 minutes for a firmer center.

Notes

  • Maintain frying oil at 350°F for crisp, non-greasy donuts.
  • Let donuts cool before filling to prevent leaks.
  • For a bakery-style look, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
  • Filling can be made 1 day ahead and stored in the fridge.
  • Use a piping bag with a narrow tip for cleaner filling insertion.
