For the Raspberry Cheesecake Filling:

● 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
● 1 cup powdered sugar
● 8 oz cream cheese
● 1/4 cup freeze-dried raspberries

Additionally:

● 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Yeast Mixture
In a small bowl, combine the yeast and a spoonful of sugar with the warm milk. Let it sit for 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

2️⃣ Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the egg yolks, egg, melted butter, vanilla, rum, salt, lemon zest, and remaining sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until well combined.

3️⃣ Combine Yeast and Flour
Add the yeast mixture to the egg mixture and mix well. Gradually mix in the flour and knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 2-3 hours, or until doubled in size.

4️⃣ Shape the Donuts
Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly floured counter. Roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter or a similar object, cut out 2-inch circles.

5️⃣ Proof the Donuts
Place the cutouts on a floured surface and let them rest for about 20 minutes. They should double in size during this time.

6️⃣ Fry the Donuts
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the donut dough to the hot oil, frying for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove the donuts and let them cool on a paper towel-lined plate.

7️⃣ Prepare the Raspberry Cheesecake Filling
In a large bowl, beat together the butter, powdered sugar, cream cheese, and freeze-dried raspberries with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

8️⃣ Fill the Donuts
Transfer the cheesecake filling to a pastry bag. Insert the end of the pastry bag into the side of each cooled donut and squeeze the filling into the center until it’s full.

Tips for Perfect Brioche Donuts

  • Ensure proper yeast activation: The yeast should become frothy and bubbly. If not, it may be old or the milk might be too hot or cold.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan: Fry donuts in batches to avoid lowering the oil temperature, which can result in greasy donuts.
  • Cool donuts before filling: Let the donuts cool completely before adding the filling to prevent it from melting.
