Is it okay to use premade strawberry sauce instead?

Of course! Grab some ready-made strawberry preserves or pie filling if you're looking to save time.

Which type of doughnuts should I pick for this dessert?

Go with glazed yeast doughnuts—they're soft and not overpowering in sweetness. Cake doughnuts are an option too if you prefer a heavier bite.

Can I prep ahead to make things easier?

Yep! You can whip up the cheesecake and the strawberry sauce up to two days before. Just keep them chilled until you're ready to build the dessert.

What’s the secret to avoiding soggy doughnuts?

Don't assemble until you're ready to serve, and double-check that the strawberry topping is completely cool before adding it to the cheesecake layer.

Can I try this with other fruits?

Totally! Blueberries, peaches, cherries, or raspberries would be great. Just cook them the same way as the strawberries for similar results.

Yields: 4 Servings (4 burgers made with doughnuts)

Dietary Preferences: Vegetarian

Ingredients

→ Cheesecake Layer

01 ½ cup heavy cream, whipped

02 ½ tsp vanilla essence

03 8 oz soft cream cheese

04 ¼ cup powdered sugar

→ Sweet Strawberry Topping

05 ¼ cup white sugar

06 1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thickness)

07 1 ½ cups sliced fresh strawberries

08 1 tbsp lemon juice

→ Doughnut Layers

09 2 glazed doughnuts per serving

10 Optional whipped cream for garnish

Steps

Step 01

Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form in one bowl. In another bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Mix the whipped cream gently into the cream cheese blend. Chill until needed.

Step 02

In a pot over medium heat, stir together strawberries, lemon juice, and sugar. Cook for 5 minutes until the strawberries soften and release juices. If you'd like it thicker, dissolve cornstarch in water and add it to the pot. Take off the heat and set aside to cool.

Step 03

Cut each doughnut in half, or leave them whole if you'd like. Spread the cheesecake mix on the bottom piece. Pile on some strawberry topping. Place the other half of the doughnut on top to finish.
