- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease two heart-shaped donut pans. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon salt
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy, using an electric mixer. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue beating until light and fluffy.½ cup unsalted butter, softened, 8 ounces cream cheese, softened, 1 cup granulated sugar
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.½ cup milk
- Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared heart-shaped donut pans, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean.
- Let the donuts cool in the pans for about 5-10 minutes before carefully inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the donuts cool, prepare the strawberry glaze. In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar, strawberry puree, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth. Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the glaze reaches your desired dipping consistency.1 ½ cups powdered sugar, ¼ cup strawberry puree, 1-2 tablespoons milk, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- In a separate small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the drizzle is smooth and pourable. Stir in the vanilla extract.4 ounces cream cheese, softened, ¼ cup powdered sugar, 1-2 tablespoons milk, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Once the donuts are completely cool, dip the top of each donut into the strawberry glaze, letting any excess drip off. Place them back on the wire rack.
- Drizzle the cheesecake mixture over the glazed donuts.
- Immediately sprinkle with your chosen toppings, such as fresh strawberry slices, crushed graham crackers, or white chocolate shavings, before the glaze and drizzle set.Fresh strawberry slices, Crushed graham crackers, White chocolate shavings
