Method
 

    1. Make the Cheesecake Filling

    In a bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.Tip: Make sure the cream cheese is soft for a lump-free filling.

    2. Flatten the Dough

    Take each biscuit and gently press or roll it into a flat circle (about ¼ inch thick).

    3. Add the Filling

    Place a small spoonful of strawberry jam in the center. Pipe or spoon the cream cheese mixture over it, fully covering the jam.

    4. Seal the Donuts

    Fold the dough over into a half-moon shape. Press and pinch the edges tightly to lock in the filling.Important: Seal well to avoid leaks while frying.

    5. Fry Until Golden

    Heat oil to 175°C (350°F). Fry the donuts in small batches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.

    6. Drain & Finish

    Remove and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Let cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar if desired.
