INGREDIENTS- All-purpose flour: 2 cups, making up the main donut structure.
- Granulated sugar: ¼ cup, for donut sweetness.
- Baking powder: 2 ½ teaspoons, for proper lift.
- Salt: ½ teaspoon, to enhance flavors.
- Whole milk: ½ cup, creating softness in the crumb.
- Large eggs: 2, adding structure and flavor depth.
- Unsalted butter: ¼ cup, melted, giving moisture and flavor.
- Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon, boosting overall taste.
- Strawberry jam: 1 cup, flavoring the creamy filling.
- Heavy cream: 1 cup, forming the strawberry filling base.
- Powdered sugar: ¼ cup, sweetening the filling mixture.
- Chopped strawberries: ½ cup, adding chunks of real fruit flavor.
- White chocolate: ½ cup, melted, for topping the donuts.
- Pink food coloring: Optional, to jazz up the chocolate drizzle.
- Step 8:
- Wait a few minutes for everything to set before serving your tasty, creamy, strawberry treats!
- Step 7:
- Pour the melted white chocolate over each donut top. If you want, mix some pink food coloring into the chocolate for a pretty color effect.
- Step 6:
- Cut each cooled donut across the middle. Add a good amount of strawberry cream inside, then put the top half back on.
- Step 5:
- For the filling, beat the heavy cream with powdered sugar until it forms peaks. Carefully mix in the jam and fresh strawberry pieces.
- Step 4:
- Fill your donut pan about halfway with the mixture. Cook for 10-12 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean when you check them. Let them cool completely before moving on.
- Step 3:
- In another bowl, combine milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth. Slowly add this wet mix to your dry ingredients, stirring just enough to mix them together.
- Step 2:
- Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a big bowl.
- Step 1:
- Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray your donut pan with cooking spray.
- Keep leftover donuts in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
- These taste way better when eaten the same day you make them, while the strawberry filling is still at its creamiest.
- Put your heavy cream in the fridge before whipping it so it gets fluffy faster and stays that way.
- Don't rush the cooling process - hot donuts will turn your filling into a runny mess.

FAQsCan I make these donuts ahead of time?
You can bake the donuts a day early, but don't add the strawberry filling until right before you plan to serve them. This keeps everything fresh and tasty.
Can I use frozen strawberries?
Frozen strawberries work fine for the filling. Just thaw them first and drain off any extra juice before you mix them into your cream.
