How to Make Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Stuffed Donuts
Ingredients:
- 6 store-bought glazed donuts (or homemade)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (or milk)
- 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
-
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until smooth and fluffy. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag and refrigerate until ready to use.
-
Make the Peach Topping: In a saucepan, combine the peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the peaches soften and the mixture thickens (about 5 minutes). Set aside to cool.
-
Prepare the Crumb Topping: In a small bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon until crumbly. Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool.
-
Assemble the Donuts: Slice each glazed donut in half horizontally. Pipe a generous amount of cheesecake filling onto the bottom half of the donut. Place the top half back on. Spoon the peach topping onto the top of each donut.
-
Add the Glaze and Crumb Topping: In a small bowl, whisk the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make a glaze. Drizzle over the donuts. Sprinkle the crumb topping over the glaze for extra crunch.
