Doughnut Burger Ingredients:
Main Ingredients:
- 2 glazed doughnuts (per serving)
Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Strawberry Topping:
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- Extra whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Craft the velvety cheesecake mixture by whisking cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until silky and uniform, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Create ethereal whipped cream by beating heavy cream until stiff, glossy peaks develop and hold their shape distinctly.
- Delicately fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese blend, maintaining the airy texture and incorporating thoroughly without deflating.
- Chill the cheesecake filling in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set and enhance its creamy consistency.
- Prepare the vibrant strawberry compote by combining fresh strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat, simmering for 5-7 minutes.
- Thicken the strawberry sauce if desired by mixing cornstarch with water and stirring into the bubbling mixture until it reaches a luxurious, glossy consistency.
- Remove strawberry topping from heat and allow to cool completely, letting flavors meld and intensify.
- Slice glazed doughnuts horizontally, creating a base and top for the decadent burger.
- Generously spread the chilled cheesecake filling across the bottom doughnut half, creating a thick, creamy layer.
- Lavishly spoon the cooled strawberry compote over the cheesecake, allowing it to cascade slightly over the edges.
- Crown the creation by placing the top doughnut half, pressing gently to secure the layers.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to prevent lumps and achieve a silky-smooth texture.
- Adjust cooking time for strawberry topping to reach desired thickness, from slightly runny to jam-like.
- Refrigerate cheesecake filling for at least 30 minutes to help it set and make assembly easier.
- Replace regular doughnuts with gluten-free doughnuts to make the recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
