How to Make White Chocolate Strawberry Cream Donuts

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt

Set aside.

2. Mix the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk:

• ½ cup whole milk
• 2 large eggs
• ¼ cup melted unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Whisk until smooth and well combined.

3. Combine

Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or whisk just until you no longer see dry flour. Don’t overmix—this keeps the donuts light and soft.

4. Fill the Donut Pan

Grease the donut pan lightly. Spoon the batter into a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner cut off. Pipe the batter into the donut wells, filling each one about ¾ full.

5. Bake

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–14 minutes. The tops should be springy and a toothpick should come out clean. Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.

Making the Strawberry Cream Filling

In a mixing bowl, whip:

• ½ cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Whip to stiff peaks. Gently fold in:

• ½ cup strawberry jam
• ¼ cup chopped fresh strawberries

Chill in the fridge until ready to fill.

Filling the Donuts

Once the donuts are fully cooled:

1. Use a small knife or piping tip to make a hole in the side of each donut.
2. Fill a piping bag with the chilled strawberry cream.
3. Pipe the filling into each donut slowly—just until they puff a little.

Glazing the Donuts

Melt in a small saucepan or microwave:

• 1 cup white chocolate (chopped or chips)

If desired, add a tiny bit of pink food coloring to create a soft blush tone. Dip each donut halfway into the melted chocolate and place on parchment paper. Let the glaze set for 10–15 minutes.

Serving and Decoration

These donuts shine on their own, but here are a few ideas to make them extra special:

• Dust with Powdered Sugar: After the glaze sets, sift a little powdered sugar on top for a pretty finish.
• Add Fresh Strawberries: Garnish with a small strawberry slice on top of each donut for a pop of color and freshness.
• Drizzle with Extra White Chocolate: Use a spoon to create a zigzag drizzle for texture and shine.
• Serve with Tea or Coffee: These are perfect alongside a warm drink for a cozy breakfast or sweet afternoon moment.

How to Serve White Chocolate Strawberry Cream Donuts

These donuts are best served fresh the same day you make them. They’re a sweet surprise for:

• Brunch tables
• Valentine’s Day or baby showers
• Birthday breakfast
• Weekend treat with kids

They’re soft, creamy, and feel just a little bit fancy.

Storing White Chocolate Strawberry Cream Donuts

• Room Temperature (Plain or Glazed Only): Store unfilled or just-glazed donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• Filled Donuts: Once filled, store them in the fridge in a covered container. Best enjoyed within 24 hours for freshness.
• Freezing: You can freeze the unfilled, unglazed donuts for up to 2 months. Just thaw, fill, and glaze when ready to serve.

Tips and Tricks for Success

• Don’t overmix the batter – Stir until combined, but no more, to keep the texture soft.
• Use a piping bag for filling – This gives more control and less mess.
• Let donuts cool fully before filling or glazing – Warm donuts can melt the cream or make the glaze run.
• Chill the filling – This helps it pipe smoothly and hold its shape.

White Chocolate Strawberry Cream Donuts FAQs

Can I make these without a donut pan?
Yes, you can pipe circles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. They’ll be more rustic in shape but still delicious.

Can I make them ahead of time?
You can bake the donuts a day ahead and fill + glaze the next morning for fresh texture.

How do I keep the filling from leaking out?
Pipe slowly and stop when the donut slightly expands. Keep them chilled if not eating right away.

Can I use whipped topping instead of real cream?
Yes, though the flavor and texture will be a little different. Stick with real whipped cream if you can.
