# Instructions:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
02 -
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 175°C (350°F). Using a donut cutter or a round cutter and a smaller cutter for the center, cut out the donuts from the dough. Fry the donuts in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
03 -
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until well combined. Slowly add the heavy cream and continue to beat until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Transfer the cheesecake filling to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip.

In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in the finely chopped fresh strawberries.
05 -
Once the donuts are cool enough to handle, use a skewer or a small knife to make a hole in the side of each donut. Pipe the cheesecake filling into the center of each donut until filled. Dip the tops of the donuts into the strawberry glaze and place them on a wire rack to set. Top with fresh strawberry slices and dust with powdered sugar.

Serve the Strawberry Cheesecake Donuts with a cold glass of milk or your favorite coffee. Enjoy the perfect blend of creamy, fruity, and sweet flavors!
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure the oil temperature remains consistent while frying for evenly cooked donuts.
02 -
Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense donuts.
