@cookplatetaste: Soft, fluffy vanilla donuts dipped in sweet strawberry glaze, covered in buttery strawberry shortcake crunch, and finished with a delicate white chocolate drizzle! Inspired by the nostalgic strawberry shortcake ice cream bars, these homemade baked donuts are sweet, crunchy, creamy, and packed with strawberry flavor. No frying required! INGREDIENTS For the Vanilla Donuts: • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour • 1/2 cup granulated sugar • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder • 1/4 tsp salt • 1/2 cup whole milk • 1 large egg • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted • 1 tsp vanilla extract For the Strawberry Glaze: • 1 cup powdered sugar • 2 tbsp finely crushed freeze-dried strawberries • 2–3 tbsp whole milk • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract For the Strawberry Crunch: • 12 golden vanilla sandwich cookies • 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted For the White Chocolate Drizzle: • 1/3 cup white chocolate melting wafers INSTRUCTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 6-cavity donut baking pan. 2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. 3. In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until combined. 4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing. 5. Transfer batter to a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe into prepared donut cavities, filling each approximately 2/3 full. 6. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter. 7. Prepare the strawberry crunch by pulsing vanilla sandwich cookies and freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. Stir in melted butter until evenly coated. 8. Make the strawberry glaze by whisking powdered sugar, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, milk, and vanilla until smooth and thick but dip-able. 9. Dip the top of each completely cooled donut into the strawberry glaze, allowing excess glaze to drip off. 10. Immediately press the glazed side into the strawberry crunch mixture, coating generously. 11. Melt white chocolate wafers according to package directions. Drizzle lightly over the donuts. 12. Allow the chocolate to set for 10–15 minutes before serving. RECIPE DETAILS Prep Time: 20 minutes Bake Time: 10–12 minutes per batch Total Time: Approximately 50 minutes Yield: 8–10 donuts Equipment: Donut baking pan, mixing bowls, piping bag, food processor STORAGE Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
