🛒 Ingredients

Peach Topping

  • 3 large ripe peaches, peeled and diced

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Donuts

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 2 large eggs

  • ½ cup whole milk

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 2–3 tablespoons milk

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

🍽️ 7 Directions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Optional glaze:
    In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the donuts for a shiny, sweet finish.

  7. 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.

🍑 Tips & Variations

  • Spice it up: Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the peach topping for extra warmth.

  • Fruit swap: Substitute peaches with apples, pears, or mixed berries for seasonal variations.

  • Mini version: Use a mini donut pan for bite-sized treats perfect for parties.

  • Gluten-free: Swap flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking mix for a GF version.
