Ingredients:

• 8 origin extract extractal refrigerated biscuits (I used Pillsbury Grands)
• 5 cups oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil works well)
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 2 tbsp sour cream
• 1/4 cup Bailey’s Irish Cream
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 4 oz milk chocolate, finely chopped
• 5 tbsp Bailey’s Irish Cream, heated to warm (do not boil)

Prepare the Doughnuts

Step 1: Preparing the Biscuit Dough

First, we’ll get our biscuit dough ready for frying. Carefully open the can of refrigerated biscuits. These are the foundation of our delicious Bailey’s Cheesecake Doughnuts. You’ll want to separate them gently. For the best doughnut shape, I like to slightly flatten each biscuit with the palm of my hand. This gives us a good surface area to work with and helps them fry more evenly. Don’t overwork them; just a gentle press is all that’s needed. Once flattened, set them aside and let them sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes. This little bit of resting time helps the dough relax and will make them puff up beautifully when they hit the hot oil.

Step 2: Heating the Oil for Frying

While the biscuits are resting, it’s time to prepare our frying station. Pour the 5 cups of oil into a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. A deep pot is essential for safety and to ensure the doughnuts fry properly. You’ll need enough oil so that the doughnuts can float freely. Place the pot over medium-high heat. We’re aiming for a consistent oil temperature of around 350°F (175°C). Using a thermometer is the most accurate way to monitor this, but if you don’t have one, you can test the oil by dropping a tiny piece of biscuit dough into it. If it sizzles immediately and floats to the surface, the oil is ready. If it browns too quickly, your heat is too high; if it sinks and doesn’t sizzle, it’s too cool. Maintaining the correct temperature is crucial for achieving golden-brown, perfectly cooked doughnuts without them becoming greasy or burnt.

Step 3: Creating the Cream Cheese Filling

Now, let’s make the luscious cheesecake filling that makes these doughnuts truly special. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, 1/4 cup of Bailey’s Irish Cream, and the 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well-combined. Make sure there are no lumps of cream cheese remaining. This smooth texture is key to a delightful filling. Once you have a perfectly blended filling, transfer it to a piping bag fitted with a small, plain tip. If you don’t have a piping bag, a Ziploc bag with a corner snipped off will work just fine. Set the piping bag aside.

Frying and Finishing

Step 4: Frying the Doughnuts

Carefully place 2-3 flattened biscuit dough pieces into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot, as this will lower the oil temperature and can cause the doughnuts to stick together and fry unevenly. Fry the doughnuts for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until they are beautifully golden brown and puffed up. Use a slotted spoon or spider strainer to gently turn them over so they cook evenly on all sides. Once they are golden brown on both sides, carefully remove them from the oil and place them on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. This allows excess oil to drain away, keeping your doughnuts from being greasy. Repeat this process with the remaining biscuit dough pieces, ensuring the oil temperature is maintained.

Step 5: Filling and Glazing the Doughnuts

Once all the doughnuts have been fried and have cooled slightly (they should still be warm), it’s time to fill them. Gently pierce the side of each doughnut with a sharp knife or a skewer to create a small opening. Insert the tip of your piping bag into this opening and squeeze a generous amount of the cream cheese filling into the center of each doughnut. Don’t be afraid to fill them; that creamy, boozy filling is the star of the show! Now, for the irresistible chocolate glaze. In a small heatproof bowl, combine the chopped milk chocolate and the 5 tablespoons of warm Bailey’s Irish Cream. Place this bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (a double boiler setup), stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can microwave the mixture in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted. Once the glaze is smooth, dip the top of each filled doughnut into the chocolate glaze, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl. You can also drizzle the glaze over the tops if you prefer. For an extra touch, you can sprinkle a few extra chocolate shavings on top before the glaze sets. Enjoy your incredible Bailey’s Cheesecake Doughnuts immediately for the best texture and flavor experience!

Frequently Asked Questions:

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

Yes! You can prepare the doughnut dough and the cheesecake filling separately a day in advance. Store the dough, covered, in the refrigerator. Keep the cheesecake filling chilled as well. When ready to assemble, let the dough come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before frying. Glaze them just before serving for the freshest taste.

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

While Bailey’s is key to the signature flavor, you can substitute it with another Irish cream liqueur extract. If you prefer an non-alcoholic alternative-free version, you can omit the Bailey’s and add an extra teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of nutmeg to the cheesecake filling for added warmth and depth of flavor.
