Instructions

In a medium-sized bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract using a hand mixer or whisk until smooth.
Preheat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C).
Flatten each biscuit dough round, place a spoonful of cream cheese filling and a dollop of strawberry jam in the center, then seal the edges tightly.
Fry donuts in hot oil for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Once slightly cooled, dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Consider using different fruit jams for filling or experiment with alternative toppings like cinnamon-sugar or a strawberry glaze. For a healthier option, try baking the donuts instead of frying them.
