How to make a No Bake Raspberry Cheesecake Filling?

You'll need a few simple ingredients:

  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 8 oz. Cream Cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (1 stick) Butter, softened
  • ½ cup Freeze Dried Raspberries
  • ¼ cup Milk
  1. Crush the freeze-dried raspberries to a fine crumb-like texture.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the softened cream cheese, butter, and crushed raspberries. Beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the powdered sugar and milk, beat another 3 minutes. If you prefer a lighter filling, add 1 tablespoon more milk at a time to adjust to taste.
  4. Transfer the cheesecake filling to a piping bag with a small tip. Fill the cooled doughnuts.

Can the doughnuts sit overnight in the fridge?

For this recipe, I have adjusted it to be made same day.

However, if you replace the instant yeast with active dry yeast, then you can make it a 2-day process. In addition, you would need to do a few other simple adjustments:

  • Replace the instant yeast with active dry yeast.
  • After the first dough rise, punch down the dough and place in fridge to rise overnight.
  • In the morning, roll out the doughnuts and cut into individual doughnuts. They may need to rise double the time you would the original recipe until they have doubled or even tripled in size.
  • Proceed as normal! :)

How to store brioche doughnuts?

Store any leftover brioche donuts in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or on the counter up to 2 days. The ticket is to keep them covered and sealed in an airtight container; otherwise, they may dry out.

To freeze brioche donuts, simply wrap them tightly in alumnimun foil and store in a freezer-safe bag or up to 3 months.

Can I reheat brioche doughnuts?

Absolutely! I do it all the time. If you're from the South like me, imagine the same process as reheating a Krispy Kreme Donut ;)

When serving unfilled leftover brioche donuts, you can reheat them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. Glazed donuts are best reheated in the microwave! You can also reheat at 350F for 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to dry them out in there though.

Filled donuts can stay out at room temperature for 2-3 days, so they don't necessarily need to be reheated since the filling should keep the dough moist.

Ingredients

Servings: 12-14

For the Dough:

  • BUBBL’R Pitaya Berry Nect’r Antioxidant Sparkling Water, for serving
  • 3 ¾ cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Warm Milk
  • ¼ cup Granulated Cane Sugar + more for garnishing
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 Egg Yolk
  • 2 ½ tsp. Instant Dry Yeast
  • 4 tbsp. (½ stick) Butter, melted
  • Zest of 1 Lemon
  • 64 oz. Neutral Oil, for frying

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 8 oz. Cream Cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (1 stick) Butter, softened
  • ½ cup Freeze Dried Raspberries
  • ¼ cup Milk

Instructions

For the Dough:

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Briefly whisk to mix, then set aside for 8-10 minutes to activate the yeast.
  2. Add the egg, egg yolk, melted butter, and lemon zest into the bowl. Whisk to combine.
  3. Add the flour. Using the hook attachment, knead on LOW speed for 2 minutes.
  4. Increase the speed to Medium-High to knead 4-6 more minutes. The dough should be smooth and pliable. (If too dry, add more milk. If too wet, add more water.)
  5. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap. Set aside to rise in a warm environment (like oven with light on) for 1-2 hours, until doubled in size.
  6. In the meantime, cut out 4x4” squares of parchment paper. Place them in a single layer on 1-2 baking pans.
  7. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to ½” thick. Using a 2 ½ - 3” cookie cutter, cut the doughnuts. Re-roll the dough as needed to use it all.
  8. Place each doughnut on a single square of parchment paper.
  9. Cover the doughnuts with plastic wrap. Set aside to rise 1-2 hours, until doubled in size.
  10. Heat the neutral oil in a large pot over medium high heat to 350F. Using a large spoon or wooden spatula, gently scoop underneath the parchment paper-lined doughnuts to place in the hot oil. Use tongs to remove the parchment paper.
  11. Fry 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
  12. Using a slotted spoon, remove the doughnuts to place on a paper towel lined plate.
  13. While still warm, toss the doughnuts in more granulated cane sugar.
  14. Let cool 10 minutes before adding filling.

For the Filling:

  1. Crush the freeze-dried raspberries to a fine crumb-like texture.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the softened cream cheese, butter, and crushed raspberries. Beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the powdered sugar and milk, beat another 3 minutes. If you prefer a lighter filling, add 1 tablespoon more milk at a time to adjust to taste.
  4. Transfer the cheesecake filling to a piping bag with a small tip. Fill the cooled doughnuts.
  5. Enjoy with BUBBL’R Pitaya Berry Nect’r Antioxidant Sparkling Water for a complimentary drink!
