### Ingredients:

**For the Donuts:**  

- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour  

- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar  

- 2 teaspoons baking powder  

- 1/2 teaspoon salt  

- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon  

- 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk  

- 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted  

- 1 large egg  

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract  

**For the Cheesecake Filling:**  

- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened  

- 1/2 cup (100g) powdered sugar  

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract  

**For the Strawberry Crunch Topping:**  

- 1 cup (150g) freeze-dried strawberries  

- 1/2 cup (60g) vanilla wafers, crushed  

- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted  

**For the Glaze:**  

- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar  

- 2-3 tablespoons milk  

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract  

### Directions:

**1. Let’s make the Donuts!**  

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease that donut pan like a boss.  

In a big ol' bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon together. In another bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until it’s a smooth party.  

Gently combine the wet ingredients into the dry until it’s just right – no over-mixing! Fill your donut pan about 3/4 full and bake those beauties for 10-12 minutes until golden perfection. Let ‘em chill on a wire rack.

**2. Time for that Cheesecake Filling!**  

Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until it’s smooth, creamy, and begging to be piped. Spoon it into a piping bag with a round tip.

**3. Let’s get Crunchy!**  

In a food processor, pulse the freeze-dried strawberries and vanilla wafers until fine crumbs form. Add the melted butter and pulse until crumbly magic happens.

**4. Glaze it Up!**  

Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until you’ve got a smooth glaze that’s perfect for dipping.

**5. Assemble the Dream Donuts!**  

Take those cooled donuts, and pipe a dollop of cheesecake filling right into the center by making a little hole. Then, dip each donut into the glaze, letting the excess drip off. Before the glaze sets, sprinkle on that delicious strawberry crunch topping!

🎉 Voilà! You've just created strawberry cheesecake donut heaven.
