🛒 Ingredients

For the Donuts

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (16.3 oz, 8 rounds)

  • Vegetable oil for frying (2–3 cups, depending on pot size)

For the Peach Cobbler Filling

  • 1 can sliced peaches in syrup (15 oz), drained and chopped

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thicker filling)

For the Cheesecake Filling

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Coating

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • Optional: drizzle of glaze (powdered sugar + milk)

🔪 Prep Tips

  • Keep cream cheese soft for smooth filling.

  • Drain peaches well to avoid excess liquid inside donuts.

  • Use medium heat oil — too hot browns the donuts outside too quickly, too low makes them greasy.

  • Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
