# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine diced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Transfer to a bowl and let cool completely.
02 -
In a medium bowl, blend softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Transfer mixture into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped.
03 -
Gently flatten each biscuit dough piece with fingers, maintaining enough thickness to hold the fillings after frying without rolling too thin.
04 -
Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F. Fry the prepared dough in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain excess oil on paper towels.
05 -
Once cool enough to handle, cut a small hole in the side of each donut. Pipe in cheesecake filling followed by a spoonful of strawberry filling. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Ensure the strawberry mixture cools completely before filling to prevent the dough from becoming soggy.
