Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 glazed donuts (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- ¼ cup strawberry syrup or strawberry jam
Dairy and Cream Components:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) heavy cream
- ¼ cup (30 grams) powdered sugar
Flavor and Texture Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup (30 grams) crushed strawberry shortcake cookies or graham crackers
Instructions
- Craft a velvety cheesecake filling by whipping cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a medium mixing bowl until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Gradually incorporate heavy cream into the mixture, blending until the filling transforms into a light, airy texture with soft peaks.
- Carefully dice fresh strawberries and gently fold them into a small bowl with strawberry syrup, ensuring each fruit morsel is evenly glazed.
- Delicately slice each glazed donut in half horizontally, creating two equal halves for layering.
- Generously pipe or spread the whipped cheesecake mixture onto the bottom donut half, creating a smooth, even layer approximately 1/2 inch (1.27 centimeters) thick.
- Distribute the syrup-coated strawberry mixture evenly across the cheesecake layer, allowing the vibrant fruit to peek through.
- Enhance the texture by sprinkling crushed strawberry shortcake cookies or graham crackers over the strawberry layer, creating a delightful crunch.
- Gently position the top donut half over the layers, applying light pressure to secure the components.
- Optional: Embellish the assembled donut with an additional drizzle of strawberry syrup and a final sprinkle of crushed cookies for visual appeal.
- Serve immediately for optimal freshness, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before enjoying this decadent dessert.
Notes
- Advance prep is key: Make cheesecake filling and strawberry topping ahead of time to streamline assembly.
- Texture matters: Using slightly chilled donuts helps prevent filling from becoming too runny and maintains structural integrity.
- Cookie crunch enhances experience: Crushed shortbread or graham crackers provide delightful contrast to creamy filling and soft donuts.
- Fresh strawberries elevate flavor: Choose ripe, sweet berries for maximum taste and vibrant color in the topping.
- Serving suggestions: Best enjoyed within 2-3 hours of preparation to maintain optimal donut texture and filling consistency.
- Storage tip: If not serving immediately, store in refrigerator and consume within 24 hours for best quality.
