Ingredients

Scale

Dough

1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (about 10 biscuits)

Filling

8 oz softened cream cheese
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon strawberry preserves per donut

For Frying and Topping

Vegetable oil, for frying
Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps for a perfect filling consistency.
Shape the Dough: Flatten each refrigerated biscuit round into a 3-inch circle, using your hands or a rolling pin, to create an even base for filling.
Assemble: Place 1 tablespoon of strawberry preserves and a generous spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over into a half-moon shape and press the edges firmly together to seal and prevent filling leakage during frying.
Fry the Donuts: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the stuffed donuts seam-side down into the hot oil, frying each side for about 2–3 minutes or until they turn golden brown and cooked through.
Cool and Serve: Remove the donuts with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Let them cool slightly before dusting generously with powdered sugar. Serve warm for the best flavor experience.

Notes

Ensure the oil temperature is consistent at 350°F to achieve the perfect golden crust without absorbing excess oil.
Do not overfill the donuts to prevent the filling from leaking during frying.
These donuts are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated briefly in the oven or microwave.
For a healthier option, consider baking instead of frying, adjusting baking time accordingly.
