These raspberry puff pastry donuts are a quick and easy breakfast treat to make at home! All you really need is a some puff pastry sheets and raspberry jam! Of course, I also love to add a bit of sweetened cream cheese filling. I think it pairs so nicely with the sweet and tart raspberry flavor! They are just too hard to turn down.
The filling
- Raspberry Jam - so simple, I mean you could just stop here. That's all you need! You can really use any flavor jam here. Cherry and strawberry would pair really well with the cream cheese filling too! This Lavender Berry Jam is a really great option too!
For a little extra!
- Cream Cheese
- Powdered Sugar
- Vanilla Extract
- Milk
I use store bought puff pastry sheets for this recipe. We are looking for an easy breakfast recipe after all!
How to make Raspberry Puff Pastry Donuts
- If you're making the cream cheese filling, mix the ingredients of that filling all together and set it aside.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheets slightly to get an even surface. Use a cookie cutter, biscuit cutter or the bottom of a glass and knife to cut out the hearts or shapes of your donuts.
- Place half of the cut out shapes on a parchment lined baking sheet
- Put about a tablespoon of the cream cheese filling and a tablespoon of the raspberry jam in the center of the puff pastry cut outs. Brush the edges with egg wash, place the second puff pastry cut-out over and press the edges to seal.
- Bake, dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve!
These donuts are a fun treat for the kids to help out with too!
