White Chocolate Strawberry Cream Donuts Recipe 🍩🍓🤍

Introduction

Donuts are one of the world’s most beloved pastries, soft and fluffy on the inside with endless possibilities for fillings and toppings. This recipe takes the classic donut to an entirely new level by combining three indulgent elements: fluffy yeast donuts, a luscious strawberry cream filling, and a glossy white chocolate glaze. Perfect for Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, birthdays, or simply as a treat for yourself and loved ones, these donuts are little circles of happiness.

The combination of strawberries and chocolate has long been associated with romance and celebration. By folding them into this recipe, you get the richness of cream, the sweetness of white chocolate, and the freshness of strawberries—all in one bite.

Ingredients

For the Donuts

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ tsp instant yeast (1 packet)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup warm milk (110°F/43°C)
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg

For the Strawberry Cream Filling

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar

For the White Chocolate Glaze

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • Pink/red sprinkles or freeze-dried strawberry crumbs (optional for garnish)

Instructions & Methods

Step 1: Make the Donut Dough

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add the egg, softened butter, and salt, mixing until incorporated.
  3. Gradually add in flour, kneading for 6–8 minutes until the dough is soft, elastic, and smooth.
  4. Transfer to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 2: Shape and Fry the Donuts

  1. Punch down the dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to ½-inch thickness.
  2. Cut into rounds using a donut cutter or biscuit cutter.
  3. Place the rounds on a tray, cover, and allow them to rise again for 30 minutes.
  4. Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry donuts in batches for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Step 3: Make the Strawberry Cream Filling

  1. In a small saucepan, cook chopped strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice until thickened and jam-like. Let cool completely.
  2. Beat cream cheese until smooth, then add powdered sugar and beat again.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Swirl in the cooled strawberry mixture for a marbled effect.
  5. Transfer filling to a piping bag with a round tip. Fill each donut by inserting the tip into the side and squeezing gently.

Step 4: Make the White Chocolate Glaze

  1. Melt white chocolate chips and heavy cream together until smooth.
  2. Dip the tops of each donut into the glaze, letting excess drip off.
  3. Sprinkle with freeze-dried strawberry crumbs or colored sprinkles for decoration.

History & Formation

Donuts have origins tracing back to Dutch settlers in early America, where “olykoeks” (oily cakes) were fried as sweet treats. Over time, yeast donuts evolved, becoming a staple in bakeries worldwide. The idea of filling donuts started in the 19th century, with jelly and custard varieties.

This recipe takes inspiration from the timeless pairing of strawberries and chocolate, celebrated for centuries as symbols of love and indulgence. The “formation” of this dessert lies in combining old-world donut-making with modern flavor twists—cream cheese, whipped cream, and strawberries nestled into fluffy yeast dough, crowned with velvety white chocolate.

Serving & Lovers

Serve these donuts fresh, preferably the same day, when the cream is airy, and the glaze is glossy. Lovers of sweet treats, dessert enthusiasts, and chocolate-strawberry fans will all find joy in every bite. They’re perfect for sharing with friends, family, or that special someone.

Conclusion

White Chocolate Strawberry Cream Donuts are more than just a dessert—they’re a celebration of love, comfort, and creativity in baking. Soft, creamy, sweet, and slightly tangy, they embody everything a perfect donut should be. Whether you’re enjoying them with a cup of coffee, gifting them to someone you love, or simply treating yourself, these donuts will leave a lasting impression.
