Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup blueberries
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
Oil and Frying:
- Oil for frying
Sugars and Flavoring:
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Craft the luscious blueberry compote by simmering blueberries with balsamic vinegar and sugar in a saucepan over gentle heat, stirring intermittently until berries rupture and mixture transforms into a thick, glossy consistency. Allow the compote to cool completely.
- Create a velvety cheesecake filling by whisking cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until silky and well-incorporated, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Prepare a clean, lightly floured workspace and roll out biscuit dough to an even thickness. Use a round cutter to shape uniform dough circles with precision.
- Construct the filled doughnuts by carefully positioning a dollop of cheesecake mixture in the center of half the dough rounds. Top each with a spoonful of cooled blueberry compote.
- Gently overlay the remaining dough rounds atop the filled bases, pressing edges firmly with fingertips to create a secure seal, preventing filling from leaking during frying.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350°F, maintaining a consistent temperature. Carefully lower doughnuts into the hot oil, frying until they achieve a rich, golden-brown exterior, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer fried doughnuts to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil, allowing them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these decadent, fruit-filled pastries while warm and at their most delectable.
Notes
- Choose high-quality balsamic vinegar for a deeper, more complex flavor in the blueberry filling.
- Ensure blueberries are fresh and ripe to maximize the natural sweetness and texture of the filling.
- Chill the cheesecake mixture briefly before filling to make it easier to handle and prevent leaking during frying.
- Use a thermometer to maintain consistent oil temperature around 350°F for evenly golden-brown doughnuts without burning.
