Strawberry Cheesecake Filled Donuts

Prepare the dough:

In a bowl, dissolve the yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in warm milk. Sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.

Add flour, salt, melted butter, egg, and remaining sugar. Knead until smooth. Rise until doubled in size.

Shape and fry doughnuts:

On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1/2 inch thick. Cut doughnuts and let rise again.

Fry in 375°F (190°C) oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Make filling:

Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Fold in strawberry jam.

Fill doughnuts:

Once cooled, poke a hole in the side of each doughnut. Pipe in strawberry cheesecake filling.

Glaze:

Mix powdered sugar, milk and vanilla to make glaze. Drizzle over filled doughnuts.
