Instructions

In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Add eggs, melted butter, and salt. Gradually mix in flour until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough for 8 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours.
Roll out the dough to 1/2-inch thick and cut into rounds. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry donuts for 1–2 minutes per side until golden. Drain and cool slightly.
Beat cream cheese with 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1/2 tsp vanilla until fluffy.
Fill each donut with the cheesecake mixture using a piping bag.
Mix remaining powdered sugar, strawberry puree, and vanilla to make glaze.
