Ingredients
6 yeast donuts (homemade or store-bought)
4 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2–3 tbsp heavy cream or milk
1 cup fresh strawberries (sliced)
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp melted butter (optional)
Instructions
1. If using homemade donuts, allow them to cool completely. If store-bought, warm them slightly for a fresh taste.
2. In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
3. Gradually mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
4. Add heavy cream or milk one tablespoon at a time until the glaze is thick but pourable.
5. Wash and thinly slice the strawberries. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
6. Dip or spoon glaze generously over the top of each donut.
7. Arrange strawberry slices over the glaze, pressing gently to help them stick.
8. Sprinkle with granulated sugar for sparkle and crunch.
9. Chill for 10–15 minutes to set the glaze or serve immediately for a gooey treat.
Notes
Room-temperature cream cheese is key for a smooth, lump-free glaze.
Dry your strawberries thoroughly to keep the glaze from getting watery.
Apply the sugar topping just before serving for the best crunch and texture.
