Instructions:
1. Prepare the Dough:
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the yeast mixture, granulated sugar, melted butter, egg, and salt. Mix until combined.
- Gradually add the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
2. Prepare the Strawberry Cheesecake Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
- Fold in the diced strawberries.
- Transfer the filling to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Refrigerate until ready to use.
3. Shape the Donuts:
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air.
- Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/2-inch thickness.
- Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out donut shapes. Re-roll the scraps and cut out more donuts until all the dough is used.
- Place the donuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes, or until puffed.
4. Fry the Donuts:
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully add the donuts to the hot oil, a few at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
- Fry the donuts for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
5. Coat the Donuts:
- In a shallow bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon (if using).
- While the donuts are still warm, roll them in the sugar mixture until well coated.
6. Fill the Donuts:
- Once the donuts are cool enough to handle, use a small knife to make a small hole in the side of each donut.
- Insert the piping bag filled with the strawberry cheesecake filling into the hole and fill each donut until the filling starts to come out.
7. Serve:
- Serve the Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Donuts immediately for the best flavor and texture.
- Enjoy the delicious combination of fluffy donuts, creamy cheesecake, and sweet strawberries!
Tips for Success:
- Make sure the yeast is properly activated and foamy before adding it to the dough mixture to ensure a good rise.
- Fry the donuts at the correct temperature to avoid greasy or undercooked donuts.
- Be gentle when filling the donuts to avoid tearing the dough.
