Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Donut Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined. Blend wet ingredients in a separate bowl: whole milk, eggs, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  2. Fry or Bake the Donuts: For frying, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) and drop small amounts of dough into the hot oil, frying for about 2-3 minutes on each side. For baked donuts, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C), fill greased donut pan with batter, and bake for 10-12 minutes.
  3. Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Optionally add heavy cream for a smoother texture.
  4. Prepare the Strawberry Topping: Slice fresh strawberries and combine with a sprinkle of granulated sugar and optional lemon juice. Let sit for about 10-15 minutes.
  5. Stuff the Donuts: Once cooled, cut a small hole in each donut (for fried) or use a piping bag to fill baked donuts with cheesecake mixture.
  6. Coat the Donuts: Roll stuffed donuts in granulated sugar or a mixture of sugar and cinnamon for added sweetness.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Top donuts with prepared strawberry mixture and serve warm or at room temperature.
