🍽️ 7 Directions
-
Prepare the peach topping:
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine diced peaches, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Cook for 5–7 minutes until peaches are softened and slightly syrupy. Set aside to cool. -
Make the cheesecake filling:
In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a piping bag or resealable plastic bag with the tip cut off for easy filling later. -
Prepare the donut batter:
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine sugar, melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry until a smooth, thick batter forms. -
Pipe and fill the donuts:
Preheat your donut pan and lightly grease it. Fill each cavity about ⅔ full with batter. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown. Let donuts cool for 5 minutes, then use the piping bag to fill the center with the cream cheese mixture. -
Top with peaches:
Spoon the cooled peach topping over the filled donuts. Press lightly to ensure it stays on top. The peaches add a sweet, juicy burst with every bite. -
Optional glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the donuts for a shiny, sweet finish. -
Serve and enjoy:
Serve immediately for best flavor and texture. These donuts are soft, creamy, and bursting with fruity goodness. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
