These treats are not just a feast for the palate but also an homage to the beloved southern dessert that combines the warmth of peaches, the richness of cheesecake, and the comforting vibes of a classic donut. Imagine soft, fluffy donuts filled with a luscious cheesecake mixture and peach chunks, all dusted with a sweet cinnamon sugar topping.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups All-purpose flour
3/4 cup Sugar, divided
2 teaspoons Baking powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
1/2 cup Milk
1 large Egg
1/4 cup Unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
8 oz. Cream cheese, softened
1 cup Canned peaches (drained and chopped)
1/4 cup Cinnamon sugar (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if you are baking the donuts. Grease a donut pan with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until evenly combined.
In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
In a separate bowl, mix the cream cheese, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and chopped peaches until smooth. This will be your filling.
Spoon the donut batter into the prepared pan, filling each cavity about halfway. Add a dollop of the cheesecake filling to the center of each donut, then cover with additional batter until just full.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the donut comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
While the donuts are still warm, roll them in cinnamon sugar to coat.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Classic Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Donuts!
