White Chocolate Strawberry Cream Donuts

1. Prepare the Donuts
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan with non-stick spray.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fill Donut Pan: Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
2. Make the Strawberry Cream Filling
Whip Cream: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream and sugar until stiff peaks form.
Add Strawberries and Vanilla: Gently fold in the strawberry puree and vanilla extract until well combined.
Chill: Place the strawberry cream in the refrigerator to chill until ready to use.
3. Prepare the White Chocolate Glaze
Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, butter, and milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Assemble the Donuts
Fill Donuts: Once the donuts are completely cooled, use a piping bag fitted with a small tip to fill each donut with the strawberry cream.
Glaze Donuts: Dip the top of each filled donut into the white chocolate glaze, allowing the excess to drip off.
Decorate: If desired, top with additional strawberry slices or sprinkles.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Cool and Set: Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy: Serve these beautiful and delicious donuts at room temperature.
Tips for Success
Proper Filling: Ensure the donuts are completely cooled before filling with the strawberry cream to prevent it from melting.
Smooth Glaze: For a smooth and shiny glaze, make sure the white chocolate is fully melted and mixed well.
Fresh Strawberries: Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor in the strawberry cream.
Variations
Chocolate Drizzle: Add a drizzle of dark or milk chocolate over the white chocolate glaze for a contrasting flavor.
Berry Mix: Substitute the strawberries with a mix of your favorite berries for a different twist.
Lemon Zest: Add a hint of lemon zest to the glaze for a citrusy kick.
