Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and diced
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar, divided
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches: Peel, pit, and dice the fresh peaches into small pieces. Lightly sauté them in a pan with a pinch of cinnamon and a tablespoon of sugar to intensify their sweetness and soften their texture slightly. Set aside to cool.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling: In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 2 tablespoons of sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This will create the signature cheesecake swirls inside the donuts.
  3. Mix the donut batter: In a large bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the donuts light and fluffy.
  4. Layer the batter and filling: Spoon a small amount of donut batter into each donut mold hole, add a dollop of the cheesecake filling in the center, then cover with more batter. Add the sautéed peaches on top or gently fold them into the batter for juicy pockets of peach flavor.
  5. Bake to perfection: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the donuts for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow the donuts to cool slightly before carefully removing them from the pan.

Notes

  • Use ripe peaches for the sweetest and most flavorful donuts.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a soft, fluffy texture.
  • Ensure eggs and cream cheese are at room temperature for smooth mixing.
  • Use an ice cream scoop or spoon to evenly distribute batter and cheesecake filling for consistent donuts.
  • Allow donuts to cool completely before adding any glaze or toppings.
  • Grease donut pans thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
