Description
These Classic Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Donuts are fluffy fried donuts filled with a sweet peach cobbler filling and creamy cheesecake center. Made from simple refrigerated biscuits, they’re an indulgent, bakery‑style dessert that’s fun to make at home.
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (16.3 oz, 8 rounds)
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Peach Cobbler Filling:
- 1 can sliced peaches in syrup (15 oz), drained and chopped
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- Cheesecake Filling:
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional Topping:
- Powdered sugar or simple glaze
Instructions
- For the peach cobbler filling, combine chopped peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until thickened, then remove from heat and cool completely.
- In a small bowl, beat softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth; set aside.
- Separate the biscuit dough and gently flatten each round. Stretch slightly and cut a small hole in the center to form donut shapes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to about 350°F (175°C). Fry the donuts in batches, turning once, until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
- Let the donuts cool slightly. Use a piping bag or small spoon to fill each donut with cheesecake filling first, then add the peach cobbler filling.
- Finish by dusting with powdered sugar or drizzling with a simple glaze. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a lighter option, bake the biscuit donuts at 375°F (190°C) until golden, though texture will be more biscuit‑like.
- Use fresh or frozen peaches cooked down the same way if preferred.
- Avoid overfilling the centers to prevent leaking.
- Prepare the peach and cheesecake fillings ahead and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Try a vanilla, cinnamon, or maple glaze for extra flavor.
