Tips Tricks and FAQs
- Feel free to omit the sprinkles or replace them with another favorite variety.
- We love making this with strawberries, but you can also make it with other types of berries. Try making it with raspberries or blackberries. If you do, you may want to add sugar to the berries to help them juice before assembling.
- If you are serving a crowd, you can double or even triple the recipe. Just be sure that you plan 1 donut per person. If you are serving kids, you can easily serve a half donut with one layer of cream cheese filling with strawberries on top.
- If you prefer you can use cake donuts instead of glazed donuts.
Storage
These are best enjoyed right away after they are assembled. If you are planning to make these and save them for later, make the cheesecake filling and place it in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
You will want to buy your donuts the day of so they are at optimal freshness.
