Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (16.3 ounces / 462 grams) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 1 can (15 ounces / 425 grams) peach slices in syrup, drained and chopped
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
Filling and Flavoring Ingredients:
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup heavy cream
Topping and Frying Ingredients:
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- ¼ cup crushed graham crackers
- ¼ cup glaze (made with powdered sugar and milk)
- Pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
- Craft the luscious peach compote by gently simmering fresh peach slices with aromatic brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Create a smooth cornstarch slurry to thicken the mixture, stirring occasionally until the sauce transforms into a rich, glossy consistency. Allow the compote to cool completely, intensifying its deep fruity essence.
- Whip the cream cheese until silky smooth, gradually incorporating powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Carefully fold in heavy cream, transforming the mixture into a light, airy cheesecake filling. Transfer the luxurious cream to a precision piping bag equipped with a specialized filling tip.
- Prepare the frying station by heating vegetable oil to an optimal 350F. Carefully separate each biscuit dough round, delicately removing the center to create classic donut shapes. Immerse the donuts in hot oil, achieving a golden-brown exterior through careful frying. Drain the freshly fried donuts on absorbent paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Once the donuts reach a manageable temperature, expertly inject each with the creamy cheesecake filling using the prepared piping bag. Generously crown each donut with a lavish spoonful of the cooled peach compote, ensuring a perfect flavor distribution.
- Elevate the donuts with a delicate glaze drizzle, then garnish with crushed graham cracker crumbs and a whisper of ground cinnamon. The final touch adds texture and a harmonious blend of sweet and spicy notes to this decadent dessert creation.
Notes
- Ensure peaches are ripe and sweet for the most flavorful filling, avoiding under-ripe or overly mushy fruit.
- Control the thickness of the peach mixture by adjusting cornstarch; less creates a runnier sauce, more makes it denser.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to achieve a smoother, lump-free cheesecake filling that pipes easily.
- Test oil temperature with a wooden chopstick or thermometer to prevent burning or undercooking donuts.
- Drain donuts thoroughly on paper towels to keep them crispy and prevent soggy bottoms.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute biscuit dough with gluten-free alternatives or make homemade dough.
- Make filling ahead of time and store in refrigerator to save preparation time on serving day.
- Experiment with different fruit combinations like mixed berries or apples for seasonal variations.
