Preparation
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add in the strawberry jam and fresh strawberries, and beat until combined.
- Using a spatula or wooden spoon, stir in the pancake mix and flour until fully incorporated. (The dough will be sticky and pink in color.)
- Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and sprinkle the top with more flour.
- Press out dough until it is about half an inch thick.
- With a round cookie cutter, drinking glass, or mason jar lid, cut the dough in as many circles as will fit. In the center of each circle, cut a smaller circle with a cookie cutter or shot glass.
- Remove the cut donuts to another floured surface and gather up excess dough.
- Repeat steps 5 through 7 until all the dough is used up.
- Heat oil in a large pot to 350ºF (180ºC).
- Carefully place a few donuts in the hot oil, being careful not to crowd the pot.
- Once the bottom is browned, flip the donut over in the oil and cook the other side.
- Once both sides are browned, remove the donut and place it on a rack to cool.
- For the frosting: beat cream cheese in a bowl until smooth. Add powdered sugar and continue to beat until fully incorporated, then add vanilla extract, and finally add milk.
- Dunk the tops of the donuts in the frosting and garnish with slices of fresh strawberries.
- Enjoy!

These donuts did not work, they looked nothing like they did in the video and the flavor of strawberry wasn’t really there. I would not make again

Would not make, good but couldn’t taste the strawberry flavor and a little bit tough. The dough was super sticky and wasted half the batter that stuck to my hands. Wouldn’t make it again.

I liked how this turned out but just wished the icing wasn’t so runny. I followed it exactly but had no luck. I’d still make this again though.. maybe tweak the icing somehow.
