Ingredients
For the Donut Holes:

2 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ cup milk
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
Oil for frying
For the Cheesecake Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup powdered sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ cup diced fresh strawberries
For Topping:

Extra strawberries for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Donut Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Gradually combine the wet and dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
- Shape and Fry the Donut Holes: Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the diced strawberries. Transfer the mixture into a piping bag with a small round tip.
- Fill the Donut Holes: Poke a small hole in each donut hole and pipe in the cheesecake filling. Be generous for the best flavor!
- Dust and Serve: Lightly dust the stuffed donut holes with powdered sugar and garnish with extra strawberry pieces. Enjoy fresh!
