Ingredients
Scale
Doughnuts
- 4 brioche doughnuts (or use brioche rolls if unfilled)
Cheesecake Filling
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream, whipped
Fruit Filling
- 1/2 cup diced fresh strawberries
- 1/4 cup diced peaches
- 1/4 cup blueberries
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
For Garnish
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Next, gently fold in the whipped heavy cream until the filling becomes light and fluffy, taking care to retain its airy texture.
- Mix the Fruit: In a separate bowl, combine the diced strawberries, peaches, blueberries, lemon zest, and honey if using. Stir gently to evenly distribute the fruits and flavors without mashing them.
- Slice the Doughnuts: Carefully slice each brioche doughnut across the center, creating a hinge so that the halves stay connected and can open like a sandwich pocket.
- Assemble the Doughnuts: Spoon or pipe a generous amount of the cheesecake filling into the center of each doughnut. Then add a hearty scoop of the fresh mixed fruit on top of the filling. Close the doughnuts gently, ensuring not to squeeze out the filling.
- Finish and Serve: Lightly dust the tops of the stuffed doughnuts with powdered sugar. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and creamy flavors, or chill the doughnuts briefly before serving for a cooler dessert.
Notes
- For a firmer cheesecake filling, refrigerate the cream cheese mixture for 15–20 minutes before assembling the doughnuts.
- Feel free to swap out the fruit for raspberries, blackberries, or kiwi for different flavor variations.
- This dessert is best enjoyed the same day to maintain freshness and optimal texture.
