How to Make Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Donuts
1️⃣ Make the Donuts
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a donut pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- In another bowl, mix buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring just until combined.
- Spoon the batter into the donut pan, filling each mold about ¾ full.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool completely.
2️⃣ Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
- Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
3️⃣ Make the Peach Cobbler Topping
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches release their juices.
- Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for another 2 minutes, or until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
4️⃣ Assemble the Donuts
- Using the piping bag, fill each donut with the cheesecake mixture by inserting the tip into the side of the donut.
- Spoon the peach cobbler topping over the donuts, allowing it to drizzle down the sides.
5️⃣ Add the Glaze (Optional)
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Drizzle the glaze over the donuts for extra sweetness.
Tips for Perfect Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Donuts
- Use Fresh Peaches: Fresh peaches add the best flavor, but canned or frozen peaches work in a pinch.
