Ingredients
Scale
For the Donuts:
- 1 can biscuit dough or pre-made donut dough
- Vegetable oil, for frying
For the Peach Cobbler Filling:
- 1 can peach slices in syrup or fresh peaches, chopped
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
For the Topping:
- 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers or crushed digestive biscuits
- 1/4 cup glaze (store-bought or homemade with powdered sugar and milk)
- Pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Cobbler Filling:
Combine peach slices, brown sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and water in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the peaches are tender and the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. - Make the Cheesecake Filling:
Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth. Add the heavy cream and continue mixing until the filling is fluffy and creamy. Set aside. - Fry the Donuts:
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Shape the biscuit dough into donuts and fry for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Drain the donuts on paper towels and allow them to cool slightly. - Assemble the Donuts:
Cut each donut in half horizontally. Layer the bottom half of each donut with the cheesecake filling, then top with the peach cobbler filling. - Top the Donuts:
Sprinkle crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits over the donuts. Drizzle with glaze and finish with a dusting of cinnamon.
Notes
- For a lighter version, you can opt for reduced-fat cream cheese and whipped topping in place of the heavy cream for the cheesecake filling.
- You can use fresh peaches instead of canned peaches for a more natural flavor.
- For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract to the peach filling.
- These donuts are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 1-2 days.
