Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Donuts

For the Strawberry Cheesecake Filling:

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

For the Strawberry Glaze:

• 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1-2 tablespoons milk (optional, to adjust consistency)

Instructions

1. Preparing the Donut Dough

1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy. This indicates that the yeast is active and ready to use.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Once combined, add in the yeast mixture.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
4. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.
5. Let the Dough Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

2. Preparing the Strawberry Cheesecake Filling

1. Mix the Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the Vanilla and Strawberries: Mix in the vanilla extract, then gently fold in the chopped strawberries. Make sure the strawberries are well incorporated without breaking them down too much.
3. Chill the Filling: Cover the filling and place it in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the donuts. This helps the filling firm up, making it easier to stuff into the donuts later.
