Ingredients:

• 8 origin extract extractal refrigerated biscuits (I used Pillsbury Grands)
• 5 cups oil for frying
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 2 tbsp sour cream
• 1/4 cup Bailey’s Irish Cream (for the filling)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 4 oz milk chocolate, chopped
• 5 tbsp Bailey’s Irish Cream, heated

Preparing the Doughnuts

Making the Filling

The first step to creating these delightful Bailey’s Cheesecake Doughnuts is to prepare the luscious cream cheese filling. Ensure your cream cheese is truly softened to room temperature; this is crucial for a smooth, lump-free mixture. You can leave it on the counter for about an hour, or if you’re short on time, carefully microwave it in 10-second bursts, stirring in between, until just pliable. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the sour cream. Use an electric mixer, or a whisk and a bit of elbow grease, to beat these together until they are incredibly smooth and well combined. This forms the creamy base of our filling. Next, gradually add the 1/4 cup of Bailey’s Irish Cream to the cream cheese mixture. Continue beating until everything is thoroughly incorporated. It’s important to mix this well to ensure the Bailey’s flavor is distributed evenly throughout the filling. Finally, stir in the 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Mix until just combined. Don’t overmix at this stage, as it can sometimes make the filling a bit too thin. Set this delicious cream cheese filling aside for now; we’ll be using it shortly to stuff our doughnuts.

Shaping and Frying the Doughnuts

Now, let’s get our biscuits ready for their transformation into doughnuts. Carefully unroll the refrigerated biscuit dough. You’ll notice they are pre-cut into rounds. For this recipe, we want to create a doughnut hole effect, so we’ll be using the center of the biscuit. You can save the larger outside rings for another use, perhaps to make mini cinnamon rolls or breakfast sandwiches. Gently press the center portion of each biscuit to create a slight well. This well will be where we inject our cream cheese filling. Be careful not to tear the dough. Heat your frying oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. You’ll need about 5 cups of oil to ensure the doughnuts can float freely. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the oil temperature; it should be maintained between 350-360°F (175-180°C). It’s vital to keep the oil within this temperature range for perfectly cooked doughnuts. If the oil is too hot, the outside will burn before the inside is cooked. If it’s too cool, the doughnuts will absorb too much oil and become greasy. Carefully place 2-3 biscuit centers into the hot oil at a time, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Overcrowding will lower the oil temperature drastically and result in uneven cooking. Fry for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and puffed up. They cook very quickly! Using a slotted spoon or spider strainer, remove the doughnuts from the oil and place them on a wire rack set over a baking sheet lined with paper towels. This allows excess oil to drain off and prevents them from becoming soggy. Repeat this process with the remaining biscuit centers.

Creating the Bailey’s Glaze and Finishing Touches

Making the Milk Chocolate Bailey’s Glaze

While our doughnut bases are cooling slightly, it’s time to prepare the decadent chocolate glaze that will elevate these treats. In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped milk chocolate. Set this bowl over a saucepan filled with a few inches of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water (this is a double boiler method). Stir the chocolate occasionally until it is completely melted and smooth. Once melted, carefully stir in the 5 tablespoons of hot Bailey’s Irish Cream. The heat from the Bailey’s and the residual heat from the chocolate will create a beautifully smooth and glossy ganache. Be sure to stir vigorously until everything is fully incorporated and no streaks of chocolate or cream remain. The hot Bailey’s helps to thin the chocolate slightly, making it perfect for drizzling or dipping. If the glaze seems too thick, you can add a tiny bit more hot Bailey’s, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. If it seems too thin, let it sit for a few minutes to thicken slightly.

Assembling the Bailey’s Cheesecake Doughnuts

Now for the most exciting part: filling and glazing! Once the fried doughnut holes have cooled enough to handle, but are still slightly warm (this helps the filling spread easily and the glaze adhere better), it’s time to fill them. You can use a piping bag fitted with a small, round tip, or even a Ziploc bag with a corner snipped off. Carefully insert the tip into the side of each doughnut hole and gently squeeze in some of the cream cheese filling. Don’t overfill them, as the filling might escape. You want just enough to create a delicious pocket of creamy goodness. Once all your doughnuts are filled, it’s time to glaze them. You can either dip the tops of the doughnuts into the warm chocolate Bailey’s glaze, allowing the excess to drip off, or you can use a spoon to generously drizzle the glaze over the tops. For an extra touch of elegance, you can even sprinkle a few chocolate shavings or a tiny dusting of cocoa powder over the glaze before it sets. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes at room temperature, or pop them in the refrigerator for a few minutes to speed up the process. Enjoy these irresistible Bailey’s Cheesecake Doughnuts while they are still slightly warm for the ultimate experience!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I make the Bailey’s Cheesecake Doughnuts ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the doughnut batter and filling a day in advance. Store them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. The cheesecake filling may need a quick stir before assembling. For best results, it’s recommended to fry and glaze the doughnuts closer to serving time for optimal texture.

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

If you prefer an non-alcoholic alternative-free version or simply don’t have Bailey’s, you can substitute it with an equal amount of milk or cream and add a splash of vanilla extract and a pinch of almond extract for a similar flavor profile. This will still result in a wonderfully creamy and delicious doughnut!
