How to Make White Chocolate Strawberry Cream Donuts

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chopped strawberries
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup heavy cream
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup white chocolate, melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup strawberry jam
1/2 cup whole milk
Pink food coloring (optional)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan with non-stick spray for easy release.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar. Whisk them together until well-mixed.
In another bowl, whisk together the whole milk, large eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
Spoon the batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity halfway. Pop them into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
For the luscious filling, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar in a bowl until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold in the strawberry jam and chopped strawberries, creating a deliciously sweet mixture.
Slice each cooled donut in half horizontally. Generously fill each donut with the strawberry cream filling, making sure to pack it in nicely.
Melt the white chocolate and drizzle it over each filled donut for a beautiful topping. If you want to add a pop of color, mix in a few drops of pink food coloring into the melted chocolate before drizzling.
Allow the donuts to set for a few minutes, and then they’re ready to be enjoyed!
