Ingredients
  

For the Donuts:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup whole milk

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Oil for frying

For the Cheesecake Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup fresh strawberries, pureed

For Topping:

1 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Optional: fresh strawberries for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In another bowl, combine milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The dough will be soft and slightly sticky.

    Shape the Donuts: On a floured surface, roll out dough to about 1/2-inch thickness and cut out donut shapes using a donut cutter or two different sized round cutters. Gather scraps and re-roll to cut more donuts until all dough is used.

      Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan or pot, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Make sure there's enough oil for the donuts to float and cook evenly.

        Fry the Donuts: Working in batches, carefully place donuts in hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove using a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

          Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Stir in the pureed strawberries until you achieve a smooth filling.

            Stuff the Donuts: Allow the donuts to cool slightly. Using a piping bag or a small knife, create a hole in each donut and carefully pipe or spoon in the strawberry cheesecake filling.

              Dust and Serve: Once stuffed, roll the donuts in powdered sugar for a sweet finish. Optionally, garnish with fresh strawberry slices on top.

                Enjoy: Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment!
