Ingredients
Scale
Brioche Doughnuts:
- 4 brioche doughnuts (fresh or day-old)
Summer Berry Topping:
- 1 cup mixed summer berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, chopped if needed)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- zest of 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (cold)
Additional:
- powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the Summer Berries: In a small bowl, combine the summer berries with 1 tablespoon sugar and gently toss. Let sit for 10–15 minutes to macerate and release their juices.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then fold it gently into the cream cheese mixture to make a light cheesecake filling.
- Assemble the Stuffed Doughnuts: Slice each brioche doughnut horizontally, leaving one side attached like a hinge. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture generously into the center of each doughnut. Top with a spoonful of the macerated berries and a drizzle of their juices.
- Serve: Dust the tops with powdered sugar and serve immediately, or chill for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Notes
- Use store-bought brioche doughnuts or make your own for a homemade twist.
- For extra texture, sprinkle crushed graham crackers or toasted almonds on top.
