Strawberry Cheesecake Donuts are one of those bakes that feel like a bakery treat but are surprisingly easy to pull off at home. I love how the bright strawberry donut base, tangy cheesecake swirl, and glossy strawberry glaze all work together in one bite. Because they’re baked—not fried—you get a soft, cake‑style donut that’s tender and moist, with a rich swirl of cheesecake peeking through the top and a blush‑pink glaze that makes them look as good as they taste.
What makes these donuts extra special for me is the use of freeze‑dried strawberries. Blending them into a fine powder means the batter and glaze both get intense berry flavor and natural color without any artificial extracts or food dye. The cheesecake swirl adds that classic creamy tang you expect from a strawberry cheesecake, so every donut feels like a mini dessert you could serve at brunch, parties, or as a fun afternoon treat.
