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
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.
In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk (if needed) until smooth. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm.
Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).
Separate and lightly flatten each biscuit.
Fry biscuits 1–2 minutes per side until golden. Drain on paper towels.
Once cooled slightly, poke a hole into each donut using a piping tip or spoon handle.
Fill one piping bag with cheesecake mixture and another with the strawberry compote.
Pipe a small amount of cheesecake into each donut, followed by the strawberry filling.
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.
