Ingredients
Scale
- 6 glazed donuts, store-bought or homemade
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 1/4 cup strawberry syrup or strawberry jam
- 1/4 cup crushed strawberry shortcake cookies or graham crackers for crunch
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the heavy cream and continue to mix until the filling becomes light and fluffy.
- Prepare the Strawberry Topping: Dice the fresh strawberries and set aside. In a small bowl, mix them with strawberry syrup or jam, ensuring they are well coated.
- Assemble the Donuts: Slice each glazed donut in half horizontally. Pipe or spread a generous amount of the cheesecake filling onto the bottom half of each donut. Top this with the strawberry mixture, spreading evenly.
- Add the Crunch: Sprinkle the crushed strawberry shortcake cookies or graham crackers over the strawberries to add texture and crunch.
- Serve: Place the top half of the donuts over the layers of filling and strawberry topping, pressing gently. Optionally, drizzle with more strawberry syrup or jam and sprinkle additional crushed cookies for decoration. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
