Instructions

1. Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a medium bowl, beat together:

• Softened cream cheese
• Powdered sugar
• Vanilla extract

Once smooth, add the heavy cream and whip until light, fluffy, and pipeable. Chill briefly if needed to firm up.

2. Sweeten the Strawberries

In a separate bowl:

• Toss diced strawberries with strawberry syrup or jam
• Mix until they’re well coated and juicy

---

3. Assemble the Donut Sandwiches

• Slice each glazed donut in half horizontally
• Spread or pipe a thick layer of cheesecake filling onto the bottom half
• Add a spoonful of the strawberry mixture
• Sprinkle with crushed cookies for that sweet crunch

---

4. Finish with Crunch & Drizzle

• Place the top donut half back on gently
• Drizzle with extra strawberry syrup and a final dusting of crushed cookies for that signature “crunch” look

Serve immediately—or chill for 10–15 minutes if you want them slightly set.

Tips for Success

• Use softened cream cheese for a smooth filling
• Whip the filling until fluffy for that authentic cheesecake texture
• Want extra crunch? Add a bit of crushed cookie inside the donut too
• Make ahead: Fill them a couple hours early, but wait to drizzle and crunch until just before serving
