Ingredients

6 soft unfilled donuts (plain or glazed)

Instructions

Make the Filling
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth and creamy.
Fill Your Bag
Spoon the cheesecake filling into a piping bag fitted with a star or round tip (or use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off).
Prep the Donuts
Carefully slice the donuts like a sandwich, keeping one side intact to form a hinge. (Alternatively, you can poke a hole in the side and pipe the filling directly inside.)
Stuff the Donuts
Pipe a generous amount of cheesecake filling into each donut, then spoon or pipe in the strawberry preserves alongside or on top of the filling.
Seal & Garnish
Gently press the donuts closed, then dust with powdered sugar or edible gold for that extra wow factor.
Serve or Chill
Enjoy immediately, or chill for 20–30 minutes for a firmer, cheesecake-like texture!

Notes

Donut Options: Plain cake or glazed yeast donuts work best. Avoid frosted or already-filled varieties.

Jam Swaps: Feel free to swap in raspberry, blueberry, or peach preserves.

Make Ahead: The cream cheese filling can be made up to a day in advance and stored in the fridge.

Serving Tip: These are best enjoyed the same day but can be refrigerated for up to 3 days in an airtight container.

Fancy Finish: A sprinkle of edible gold dust takes these from simple to stunning!
