Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a doughnut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
- In another bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, milk, sour cream, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity about halfway.
- Spoon a small amount of the cheesecake filling into the center of each doughnut batter-filled cavity.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the doughnuts comes out clean.
- Allow the doughnuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth to make the glaze. Adjust consistency with more milk if needed.
- Dip the cooled doughnuts into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. Place back on the wire rack to set.
- Enjoy your delicious Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Doughnuts!
