Ingredients:

• 8 origin extract extractal refrigerated biscuits (such as Pillsbury Grands)
• 5 cups neutral oil for frying (like vegetable, canola, or peanut oil)
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• 2 tbsp sour cream
• 1/4 cup Bailey’s Irish Cream (for the filling)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for the filling)
• 4 oz milk chocolate, chopped
• 5 tbsp Bailey’s Irish Cream (hot, for the ganache)

Preparing the Doughnuts

Step 1: Preparing the Biscuit Doughgin extract4>
Begin by opening your package of refrigerated biscuits. These are the foundation of our quick and delicious Bailey’s Cheesecake Doughnuts. Gently unroll the biscuits and carefully separate them. You’ll notice they are already formed into rounds. For a more traditional doughnut shape, I like to use a small biscuit cutter or a small glass to create a hole in the center of each biscuit. This not only gives them a classic look but also ensures they cook more evenly. You can save the cut-out centers to fry up as mini doughnut holes – a tasty bonus! Make sure not to overwork the dough at this stage, as this can lead to tougher doughnuts. Simply press them gently into shape.

Step 2: Heating the Oil for Frying

Next, we need to get our frying oil ready. Pour the 5 cups of neutral oil into a heavy-bottomed pot or a deep fryer. It’s important to use a pot that is deep enough to fully submerge the doughnuts without the oil overflowing. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches between 350°F and 365°F (175°C and 185°C). Using a thermometer is highly recommended for consistent results. If the oil is too cool, the doughnuts will absorb too much grease and become heavy. If it’s too hot, they will brown too quickly on the outside while remaining uncooked inside. You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a tiny piece of biscuit dough into it; it should sizzle immediately and float to the surface.

Step 3: Making the Cream Cheese Filling

While the oil is heating, let’s prepare the luscious cream cheese filling. In a medium bowl, combine the 8 oz of softened cream cheese, 2 tbsp of sour cream, the 1/4 cup of Bailey’s Irish Cream, and the 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer or a sturdy whisk, beat these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined. It’s crucial that the cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps. The sour cream adds a delightful tang that balances the sweetness, and the Bailey’s provides that signature Irish cream flavor. Once smooth, transfer this filling into a piping bag fitted with a small, plain tip. If you don’t have a piping bag, a Ziploc bag with a corner snipped off will work just fine. This will make filling the doughnuts much easier later on.

Frying and Assembling the Doughnuts

Step 4: Frying the Doughnuts to Golden Perfection

Now for the exciting part – frying! Carefully place 2-3 prepared biscuit doughnuts into the hot oil at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Overcrowding will lower the oil temperature and result in unevenly cooked doughnuts. Fry them for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until they puff up and turn a beautiful golden brown. Use a slotted spoon or spider strainer to gently flip them over to ensure even browning. Once they are cooked on both sides, carefully remove the doughnuts from the oil and place them on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. This allows any excess oil to drain off, keeping your doughnuts light and airy. Repeat this process with the remaining biscuit doughnuts.

Step 5: Filling and Glazing the Doughnuts

Once the doughnuts have cooled slightly but are still warm, it’s time to fill them with our prepared cream cheese mixture. Gently insert the tip of your piping bag into the side of each doughnut and pipe in the cream cheese filling until the doughnut feels nicely plump. Don’t overfill, or the filling might squeeze out. While the doughnuts are still warm, we’ll make the decadent milk chocolate glaze. In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (or carefully in the microwave in short intervals), melt the 4 oz of chopped milk chocolate. Stir in the 5 tbsp of hot Bailey’s Irish Cream until you have a smooth, glossy ganache. The hot liquid helps to melt the chocolate and creates a wonderfully rich glaze. Dip the tops of the filled doughnuts into the chocolate ganache, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl. You can also drizzle extra ganache over the tops for a more decorative finish. Let the glaze set slightly before serving your amazing Bailey’s Cheesecake Doughnuts.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the doughnut dough up to 24 hours in advance. Once you’ve completed the first rise, punch down the dough, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and store it in the refrigerator. Let it come to room temperature for about an hour before proceeding with shaping and frying.

What if I don’t have Bailey’s Irish Cream?

If you don’t have Bailey’s, you can substitute it with other cream liqueur extracts like IrisLiqueur Extract Liqueur or even a liqueur extractflavored liqueur. For an non-alcoholic alternative-free version, you can use a strong brewed coffee or a touch of coffee extract mixed with a little extra cream.

How can I make these doughnuts healthier?

While these are meant to be a treat, you could consider baking them instead of frying for a lighter option. You could also reduce the sugar slightly in the dough and the cheesecake filling, and opt for lighter toppings like fresh berries.
