Ingredients
For the Donut Holes:
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- Vegetable oil, for frying
For the Strawberry Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup strawberry jam or puree
- ¼ cup finely chopped fresh strawberries
Instructions
For the Donut Holes:
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Roll each biscuit into a ball using your hands.
- Carefully drop the dough balls into the hot oil and fry in batches, about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the donut holes from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
For the Strawberry Cheesecake Filling:
- Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the strawberry jam or puree, mixing until well combined.
- Gently fold in the finely chopped fresh strawberries.
- Transfer the filling into a piping bag or a plastic sandwich bag with the tip cut off.
Assembling the Donut Holes:
- Once the donut holes have cooled slightly, use a sharp knife or skewer to create a small hole in the center of each donut hole.
- Pipe the strawberry cheesecake filling into each donut hole.
- Optionally, roll the stuffed donut holes in powdered sugar for an extra sweet touch.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
