How to Make White Chocolate Strawberry Cream Donuts

Ingredients

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

Directions

Preheat: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan with non-stick spray.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Combine & Bake: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until just combined. Fill the donut pan halfway with the batter. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the donuts cool completely.
Prepare Filling: In a bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the strawberry jam and chopped strawberries.
Assemble Donuts: Slice each donut in half horizontally. Fill them with the strawberry cream mixture.
Add Topping: Drizzle melted white chocolate over each donut. If you want some color, add a few drops of pink food coloring to the melted chocolate before drizzling. Let the donuts set for a few minutes, then enjoy!
