Instructions
1-Getting started with these Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Donuts is simple and fun, beginning with preparing the fillings that bring all the flavors together. First, cook the peach cobbler filling by heating the peach mixture with 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon water over medium heat. Stir it until it thickens, which takes about 5-7 minutes, then let it cool for easy handling later.
2-Next, make the cheesecake filling by beating together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth, then whip in 1/4 cup heavy cream until it’s fluffy and ready to use. Heat your vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) and shape the 1 can of biscuit dough or pre-made donut dough into donuts for frying. Fry them for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn golden brown, then drain and cool them slightly.
3-Once cooled, cut each donut horizontally and spread the cheesecake filling on the bottom half. Top that with the peach cobbler filling, and finish by sprinkling 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers, drizzling 1/4 cup glaze, and dusting with a pinch of cinnamon.
4-If you want to try a healthier version, use an air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes instead of frying. This keeps the donuts crispy on the outside while reducing oil use, making it ideal for diet-conscious individuals.
