Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough 8 count
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam or preserves
  • oil for frying
  • powdered sugar additional for dusting, optional

Equipment

  • Small bowl
  • Piping Bag or Resealable Plastic Bag
  • Deep Fryer or Large Skillet
  • Slotted Spoon
  • Paper towels

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy to make the cheesecake filling.
  2. Step 2: Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip or a resealable plastic bag with a snipped corner.
  3. Step 3: Flatten each biscuit dough round to about 1/4-inch thickness using your hands or rolling pin.
  4. Step 4: Place a spoonful of strawberry jam in the center of each flattened biscuit.
  5. Step 5: Pipe the cream cheese mixture over the jam in a circular motion to cover it completely.
  6. Step 6: Fold the biscuit dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape and pinch edges firmly to seal.
  7. Step 7: Heat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Step 8: Fry the stuffed donuts in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. They will puff up as they cook.
  9. Step 9: Remove donuts with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to keep crisp.
  10. Step 10: Once slightly cooled, dust donuts with additional powdered sugar if desired and serve warm.

Notes

Substitute different jams like raspberry, blueberry, or peach preserves for variety. For a lighter version, bake donuts at 375°F for 15-18 minutes instead of frying. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day or refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a warm oven for 5-7 minutes to restore crispness.
